New to the Listings section of the blog, it's a duplex rental in prime Fort Greene with a roof deck. 126 South Oxford Street has an updated kitchen and baths, washer/dryer in the unit, two working fireplaces, an open house tomorrow, but the roof deck is obviously our favorite part. Long gone are the storied days of $4,000/month duplex rentals in Fort Greene - except for a few lucky folks with nice landlords with a low cost basis. Clinton Hill records have been broken for less than the asking price of $6,195/month. Let's see what $6,000+/month gets you...
Nice ceiling height on that top floor there! Exposed brick and all the modern fixings in a brownstone in a prime location...
It's no wonder they want top dollar. And if the rent sounds high to you, back it into that handy-dandy price per square foot number everyone loves. While people are paying $45-$50/sqft for rentals even over in Crown Heights, this one is sitting at a mere $37/sqft (if you're willing to call it 2,000/sqft). And if $3,000+ per floor isn't the rent you had in mind, maybe slide over to their other listing for a $2,500/month 1BR in Prospect Heights at 291 Lincoln Place.
Pro's: renovated duplex, roof deck, washer/dryer, working fireplaces, prime Fort Greene, on the street the masses always tell us they want, great raw price per square foot number, open house this weekend
Con's: "It's not on the park block," we can already hear them saying. It's not necessarily cheap either. Kinda generic looking.
Ideally: if rents feel relentless, keep in mind we're living in the nation's richest & largest city, and it's fastest growing borough.
Hi - when are you going to post the write-up about the house search journey of a platinum member? I was looking for it last week but it never came around.
