Condo Conversion in Former Brooklyn Church Offers ‘Piece of History'
A former church in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, has had its pews turned into staircases and bell tower to a kitchen, undergoing a refresh into luxury condos. Now known as the Abbey, the building, at 232 Adelphi Street, started sales this week for 12 condos, ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. Sales are being handled by the Jessica Peters Team at Douglas Elliman, with studios starting at $1.195 million and three-bedrooms starting at $3.85 million. 'You're buying art,' said Ms. Peters, who also oversaw the renovation's interior design with Rita van Straten. 'You're buying a piece of history that was updated.' Completed in 1888 in the gothic revival style, the church, which is in a designated historic district by the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission, was formerly known as St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal. The building was converted to rentals in 2016 after having fallen into disrepair. Adapting a church 'is always a negotiation of trying to preserve all the things that are extraordinary about it, but then finding a way to utilize this residential use,' said Brian Ripel, a principal with Combined Architecture and Interiors, the firm that oversaw the building's initial conversion.
