159 Carlton Avenue is a landmarked Romanesque Revival building constructed in 1888 as the Feuchtwanger Stables, designated by the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The historic carriage house was converted to a boutique condominium in 1988, creating 12 loft-style units that retain the building's original architectural character. Located one block from Fort Greene Park in the heart of Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood, the building sits near the BAM Cultural District and DeKalb Avenue's restaurant corridor.
The building's units range from 1,360 to 2,000 SF and feature dramatic loft proportions with 12 foot ceilings, original exposed timber beams, and large arched windows that define the historic stable architecture. Many apartments include working wood burning fireplaces, wide plank hardwood floors, and open floor plans that emphasize the industrial heritage. Several units are configured as duplexes, with some featuring expansive family rooms, custom millwork, and spa-like bathrooms with soaking tubs and saunas.
The building has attracted notable residents including Denis O'Hare from American Horror Story, and has cultural significance as the location where Notorious B.I.G. wrote his "Ready to Die" album. Building amenities include video security, private storage, and a pet-friendly policy. The conversion successfully preserved the structure's historic character while creating modern living spaces that blend contemporary finishes with original architectural elements like exposed brick walls and post-and-beam construction.
