First Open House JUNE 4. This gorgeous 20' wide 1890s townhouse brings together the perfect mix of charming traditional detail with a modern sensibility and renovation to create a gracious and comfortable residence. This legal 2 family, currently used as a single, is renovated with new mechanicals, and ready for you to move into and enjoy.The parlor floor layout is just right for everyday lounging or entertaining. The living room (with original pocket doors) faces a large, open dining room /kitchen. Both have working fireplaces for winter enjoyment. The bright and airy dining room has ample space to spread out with friends and family, with south-facing glass patio doors opening onto a steel deck with stairs to the leafy back-yard.Facing the dining room is the true chefs kitchen youve been dreaming of! For those who love to cook, or who just love the looks of beautifully designed, custom cabinetry (by Paul Van de Kooi and Leicht), this is heaven! Awaken to freshly made coffee from the built-in Miele espresso/coffee machine. Prepare a feast (or warm your takeout in style) in the stacked, double Wolf ovens, and on the ultra-minimalist Pitt burners embedded directly into the Caesarstone countertop. Other top of the line appliances include Miele dishwasher and Subzero fridge. The huge island has ample space for prep. And there is copious storage for your culinary equipment and supplies.Upstairs are three bedrooms and a fresh, light-filled bath with radiant floor heating, a deep claw-foot tub for soaking in, and a full-sized stacked washer and dryer. (there is another W/D in the basement)The absolutely charming garden floor was restored and refurbished to reveal the beauty of the original materials used to build the house. The warmth of the exposed brick and wooden ceiling beams lend this floor the feeling of a serene country retreat. At the bottom of the stairs is a large TV room or office. Facing the back yard is a large bedroom with attached full bath, currently used as the Master Suite, but which could also be a lovely room to host guests. Stairs lead from this room to the south-facing back-yard, gently shaded by a grand old tree. This floor could be made into a rental.The house has wide-plank Brazilian Cherry wood floors throughout. Fujitsu air conditioning units create multi-zone cooling on hot summer days. 3 zone heating brings comfort in winter. The windows are new, the mechanicals and infrastructure have all been updated including new high efficiency natural gas furnace and water heater. The basement is currently used for storage and as an indoor cycling/music studio. The prime Carroll Gardens location cant be beat. Quiet street. 1.5 blocks to the subway. Minutes from popular, amenity-rich Smith and Court Streets. Very close to Whole Foods and all that the Gowanus neighborhood has to offer.
