544 Carlton Avenue #2

This gorgeous, parlor floor, two-bedroom coop has a brand new kitchen, a PRIVATE DECK, and is dripping with impeccable period detail, including original woodwork, ornate ceiling rosettes and plaster work, crown molding, pocket doors, and original wainscoting. Enter the apartment through beautiful pocket doors into the large living room which features three curved windows with stained glass transoms and pocket shutters, a decorative fireplace with the original mantel and tile work, and plenty of space to carve out a dining area. The just-renovated kitchen, framed by an entry of woodwork and columns, has custom solid wood cabinetry, marble counters and back splash, brass fixtures, a Bosch dishwasher and refrigerator, and a Bertozzoni range. The well-proportioned master bedroom, also with a decorative fireplace, has two large, west-facing windows, two roomy closets, and a floor-to-ceiling pier mirror. The second bedroom, also spacious, has wonderful built-in bookshelves surrounding the door to the deck and can easily accommodate a queen size bed. The bathroom is perfectly renovated with marble basket weave tile, subway tile, a pedestal sink and a claw foot rub. Step out the back door and onto your own private deck overlooking the gardens below and offering plenty of space to grill, dine and entertain. The apartment has 12'ceilings and lovely hardwood floors throughout. Additional storage can be found in the attic and there is a washer and dryer in the unit. Housed in a three-unit, pet-friendly, 20' wide, 50'deep, barrel front brownstone with no underlying mortgage and low maintenance fees, this apartment is perfectly situated at the convergence of five neighborhoods--a block from bustling Vanderbilt Avenue, two blocks from the heart of the North Slope, one block from the 2/3 train at Bergen, three and a half blocks from the trains and the LIRR at Atlantic Avenue, and minutes from Fort Greene Park, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Library and Botanic Garden.
