50 CARROLL Street #2R

This top floor two bedroom on a quiet, tree-lined residential block is flooded with light from north and south exposures as well as from a skylight above. The open plan offers a well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, custom fitted island and a large dining area. The extra wide living room has three windows with a view of the Manhattan skyline. A generous walk-in closet and a double closet offer plenty of storage space plus a washer and dryer. Both bedrooms are quiet with garden views. The bathroom has recently been enlarged allowing for a wide vanity and deep soaking tub. On the block, get hooked on Kings Coffee that serves a delicious cup of cold drip. For the green thumb, there are four neighborhood community gardens, including one right on the corner. Mother Cabrini Playground is only a block away with shady benches and the most popular sprinkler in the area. Next to Cabrini is the Urban Meadow, home of the famous Red Hook Jazz Festival. Enjoy the fine restaurants in the neighborhood, including Zagat rated Alma and Pok Pok, or take a short walk to Smith Street or Red Hook for hip and diverse culinary delights. Just down the block walk or cycle the "Greenway" along the harbor to nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park, where you can take the ferry to Governor's Island, go to the water, swing and slide parks, go kayaking, ice skating or enjoy countless other activities. The current monthly real estate taxes are $196.40.
