176 Degraw Street #2

Warm, inviting and modern 1000sf+ 2BR/2BA home with private terrace, custom kitchen and bathrooms, and wood-burning fireplace. Perfectly located on the border of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill and around the corner from much sought-after elementary schools, hip restaurants and a great grocery store. The clean and contemporary renovation of this architect's home is full of clever storage solutions and thoughtful design choices.

From the top of the stoop, enter the expansive living and dining room with windows overlooking your private terrace. Cleverly hidden built-in cabinets flank the wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen features expansive storage space, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Industrial elements, like a custom stainless countertop with integrated sink, are balanced by the deep wood tones, stone backsplash and slate floors.

The king-sized master bedroom is generous enough to include space for a home office and features a renovated full en suite bath. The large second bedroom has a spacious closet with built in shelving up to the ceiling. Both bedrooms overlook a quiet garden. The second full bathroom has also been renovated.

Details count: the stacking washer/dryer is vented to the outside. An over-sized pantry is currently used as a workshop. Honeyed wood floors throughout. Updated energy efficient wood windows and through-wall air conditioners provide year-round comfort.

This self-managed three-unit building has incredibly low common charges, which may even decrease when the underlying mortgage is paid off in the next few years. Finally: a true two bedroom/two bath home in Brooklyn's best neighborhood!
