Description

Rarely does a work of art such as 12 2nd Place in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn come on the market. This lovingly cared for one family townhouse was meticulously restored by its owners of 50 years. Gorgeous parquet floors, a stunning center spiral staircase, intricate plaster detail, floor to ceiling windows, and five marble fireplaces, 2 working, are woven through this historical home. Set back with a deep front garden on a quiet treelined block, this 4 story brownstone awaits your touch. The parlor floor with soaring ceilings includes a front library and beautifully proportioned living room overlooking the south facing garden below. Both rooms are adorned with marble fireplaces. Downstairs is the eat-in kitchen off the garden, a front dining room as well as a powder room. Upstairs from the parlor are front and back bedrooms and a full bath. The top floor is currently set up as an artist studio with a full bath and bedroom but could easily be turned into three bedrooms or a master suite. Conveniently located near the shops and restaurants of Court and Smith streets and 2 1/2 blocks from the F/G trains. This is an estate sale.

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.
