Property Details
Description
This rare and unique property sits on the corner of Third Avenue at Carroll Street: the very heart of hip Gowanus where the scale of buildings is low and the number of artisanal eateries is high. Spanning over 3,000 square feet of livable loft-like space, this c.1899 brick three story has retained its original cornice. Its features are many: multiple bedrooms, three full bathrooms, three wood-burning fireplaces, cellar -- and garage. Currently configured as a duplex over a garden apartment, the building is suffused with light from three exposures. Every room is beautifully proportioned, and there's a separate entrance to each of apartment. The garden level has a grand eat-in kitchen with expertly crafted custom cabinetry, two rooms that could jockey as either bedroom or living room and a full bath. In the 2,000 sq.ft. upper duplex, the layout includes an expansive L-shaped living room (or living room/den), a full bath and an open kitchen that overlooks a 325 sq.ft. deck. The third floor has another full bath with laundry and a decorative pedestal sink, two more bedrooms, a study/nursery and an open rec room. The cellar has additional laundry, boiler and hot water heater. With 8-ft. ceilings and clean open space, its use goes beyond mechanicals: extra storage, workshop, gym and/or wine cellar. The attached one-car garage means you will NEVER waste a minute -- or an hour -- looking for parking. Particularly well suited for investors, 1031-exchange buyers and the like, this property is vacant. Showings starting immediately.
