This is Brooklyn? An historic house for rent in Fort Greene

Living in an historic house from the 1850s is definitely something you wouldn’t think of when seeking a home in Brooklyn. This gorgeous Fort Greene family flat is in need of a  tenant (maybe a large family) to rent out the fully-furnished place for 15 months (starting in January 2011). Think of it as a temporary bed and breakfast with massive bedrooms, a washer/dryer, large front yard and backyard, a private driveway, high ceilings, and a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The only drawback is that the rent on this property is a bit steep, but if you can afford it you will not only get to enjoy living in a 2,500-square-foot home, but being within walking distance from BAM, Fort Greene Park, local restaurants, and the subway.
