Description

Come home to a truly special TOP FLOOR 3-bedroom, 2 bath CONDO duplex Penthouse in a statuesque 25' wide brownstone with the rarest of amenities in Brownstone Brooklyn, an ELEVATOR! Just renovated from top-to-bottom, this home lives like a brand-new apartment but with all of the charms that only historic Carroll Gardens can offer, including leafy green treetop and skyline views, THREE private outdoor spaces (two terraces AND a huge roof-deck), and Smith and Court streets and PS 58 at your doorstep. This very special home offers 1616 SF of interior space on two floors that has been renovated to perfection with only the finest timeless classic materials, and also includes central heating and cooling, hardwood floors, high ceilings, great closet space, your own VENTED full size LG washer and dryer, and even an additional home office area in addition to three spacious bedrooms. Take the privately-keyed elevator up to the fourth floor where you will enjoy a vestibule that doubles as stroller storage/mud room, or a perfect spot for seasonal clothing or bikes. Enter into a Great Room with more than enough space for formal dining and a comfy living room. And don't miss the home office off to the side with skyline views perfect for an amazing work from home experience. A magnificent brand-new kitchen is a design moment of practicality AND beauty and includes modern custom Walnut cabinetry, unlacquered brass Watermark plumbing fixtures, a fully paneled Miele appliance suite including a vented Gas cooktop and wall oven, and sumptuous honed Calacatta Gold countertops with handmade Zellige Tile backsplash. Two South-facing and spacious bedrooms also reside on this floor, one with a balcony, both with great closets, plus a full bathroom. Head upstairs to a luxurious Primary suite with a windowed bathroom. Both bathrooms in this home are a study in opulent minimalism and include the perfect juxtaposition of Carrara marble walls and floors with handmade Japanese pencil tile, custom wall-mounted walnut vanities with great storage, and more jewelry-like Watermark unlaquered brass plumbing fixtures. The downstairs bath offers a deep soaking tub while you will enjoy a glass enclosed walk-in shower upstairs. Head outside to a large South-facing terrace on one side and a massive roof-deck with a staircase leading to yet another deck, large enough for entertaining with stunning panoramic views all the way to the water, lower Manhattan and the charming rooftops of Brownstone Brooklyn. This apartment has everything you could ever want; fabulously renovated interior space, huge amounts of private outdoor space, incredible light and views, every comfort imaginable, and perfectly situated to the best artisanal dining, amenities, public and private schools. In addition, the F/G subway is literally at your doorstep at Carroll Street, or the R train just a few blocks away. And don't miss all the great Gowanus, Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill offerings too! This building has super low taxes with a J-51 expiring in 3 years and estimated full taxes projected at only $735. Heat, water and gas are included in the already low common charges. This unit also has a large private storage closet on the roof. Pet friendly, investor friendly, and parents allowed to buy for children too.

Carroll Gardens is famous for its unique 'deep front gardens' and its rich culinary and bakery heritage. This charming neighborhood offers a small-town feel with its boutique shops and renowned bakeries along Court and Smith Streets. The real estate market is highly coveted, featuring historic brownstones that are often wider than those in neighboring areas, alongside intimate new construction condominiums that maintain the neighborhood's low-rise character.
