86 2nd Place #2

A rare gem this truly breathtaking two bedroom parlor floor-through has been delicately preserved and gorgeously redesigned. On the parlor floor of an intimate self-managed brownstone co-op in prime Carroll Gardens, you'll find yourself transported to a Brooklyn not-quite old and not-quite new: a timeless reimagining of a historic marvel. Twelve foot ceilings, cupcake and crown moldings, marble fireplaces, pocket doors and a grand pier mirror, original from the 1800s, have been maintained in pristine condition. A thorough renovation has added an airy modern ease to the home's classic proportions: walls moved to improve flow, floors relaid with Madera white ash chevron flooring, vintage fixtures hung, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling bookshelf designed and installed. The kitchen features modern floor to ceiling storage, white marble countertops, Bertazzoni oven, Subzero fridge, Bosch dishwasher and the earthy touch of brick paver flooring. The bathroom/washroom is tucked into the space under the grand stairway of the building with laundry closet (including full size stack washer and dryer) and storage attached, and is full of charming angles and surprising space, with a Catchpole & Rye Soaking Tub, marble tiles, and a Restoration Hardware marble sink. The two generous bedrooms have frosted glass doors, white-painted wood floors, insulated windows, and southern garden views. Nestled in the heart of Carroll Gardens, 86 2nd Place is a self-managed co-op that reflects the warm communal feeling of the neighborhood, with its beautiful brownstones, verdant front gardens, tree-lined streets, lush parks, and incredible eateries, coffeeshops, and grocery stores (Abilene, Frankie's 457, Lucali's, and Santo Bruklin; East One Coffee Roasters; Caputo's). The F/G trains at Carroll Street are just one block away but the home itself is another world. Elegant, exquisite, and available now: 86 2nd Place #2 is proudly represented by the Jane Advisory.
