Description

On one of the most picturesque blocks in historic Carroll Gardens, this two-bedroom condo has been lovingly maintained and is in excellent condition, showcasing tons of charm. Located in a stately 25'-wide brownstone, the floor-thru home measures over 1,200 SF (with carrying costs less than $600/ month) and enjoys wonderful light and charming garden views from its north and south exposures. Currently featuring two bedrooms and an eat-in kitchen, with a living room, dining room, and separate office/ dressing room, its flexible layout can be opened to create a huge living room measuring approx. 15' wide X 29' long, while still maintaining the beautiful French Doors that open on to both the dressing room and the Master Bedroom. (Please reference Alternate Floorplan provided.) The tin ceilings are 9'7" high, and the impeccable detail that includes an original decorative marble fireplace as well as crown and ornamental moldings throughout speaks to a home that is hip, cool, elegant, and 100% Brooklyn. There is a W/D in the apartment, and huge basement storage.

85 1st Place is a self-managed boutique condo with only five units, all of them owner-occupied. It's an immaculately maintained building and its owners benefit from incredibly low carrying costs that are less than fifty cents per square foot. Close to the F/G trains and all the best restaurants, boutiques, and specialty stores that make Carroll Gardens one of the best places to live in Brooklyn. Pets are welcomed at 85 1st Place.
