Description

Dreamy, classic Brooklyn home, awaiting its next owner. Character abounds perfected by impeccable finish. Located on a uniquely lovely south Carroll Gardens block, this 20? wide 2-family townhouse is currently configured as a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath owner's duplex with a high-income garden level flat, and could easily be converted to a spacious and gracious single family home with the kitchen on either the garden or parlor level. The upper duplex has central a/c for the ultimate in comfort. Upon entering the parlor level, guests are greeted by an entry foyer leading to a sunlit living room with soaring ceilings, wood-burning fireplace and extra-tall windows overlooking the home?s front garden and tree-lined street. Rustic plank flooring runs underfoot. The formal dining room is situated between the front living room and a gorgeous chef's kitchen, and enjoys abundant natural light from both, thanks to windowed partitions on one end and stunning skylights and atelier-style windows flooding the pass-through kitchen with sunlight. You?ll find numerous gourmet touches in this stylish but rustic kitchen, including a GE Monogram stove and hood, stainless steel dishwasher and French door refrigerator. The enormous farmhouse sink and butcher block and soapstone countertops make food preparation and cleanup a breeze. Surrounded by light and glass and gorgeous steel casement windows and doors, walk right out to a quiet deck overlooking the breathtaking bucolic garden ? perfect for entertaining or as a solitary retreat at the end of the day. Rounding out the parlor level is a powder room and closet, each tucked neatly under the stair. The third floor houses a large sunlit bedroom and a luxurious master suite, featuring two closets ? one a walk-in ? and the bathroom of dreams, smartly designed to be both en suite bathroom and open to the hall with two basins and a separate toilet room, and a deep ceramic tub and waterworks rain shower. A spacious office is illuminated by both skylights and a south-facing window. The garden level one-bedroom apartment features a chef?s dream kitchen with wall-to-wall windows overlooking the rear garden through custom casement windows. The stainless steel appliances include a GE Monogram stove, dishwasher and large refrigerator, all surrounded by custom whitewashed cabinetry and soapstone counters with an abundance of storage. A nicely sized bedroom, under-stair storage and well-appointed bathroom with vintage claw foot tub complete the unit's floor plan. Located in the heart of historic Carroll Gardens, this classic townhouse is half a block from Buttermilk Channel, and blocks away from neighborhood favorite Frankies 457, as well as all of Court Street?s culinary and cultural delights. Just across the Gowanus Canal is the famed Bell House music venue and Brooklyn?s Whole Foods Market. The F and G trains stop just a block away.

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.
