Description

544 Carlton Avenue #2 is a gorgeous parlor floor, two-bedroom coop with a beautifully renovated kitchen, a PRIVATE DECK, and impeccable period detail, including original woodwork, two decorative fireplaces, 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 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. There is plenty of workspace on the island, while a large pantry provides fantastic storage.

The large master bedroom, also with a decorative fireplace, has two oversized, west-facing windows which look out at the garden below, two roomy closets, and an original 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. A large closet houses the side-by-side washer and dryer and provides even more storage. 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 offering plenty of space to grill, dine and entertain. The apartment has 12'ceilings, lovely hardwood floors and ductless split system ACs throughout.

One of three units in a 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.
