319 Carroll Street

319 Carroll Street is a an architecturally significant and thoughtfully built, four story townhouse with a classic brick facade and a jewelbox penthouse addition. Featuring four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and a 60' long garden, framed by mature trees, this home is a marriage of charm and modernity at an accessible price point. Designed by the Brooklyn-based Brent Buck Architects, the core themes are centered around a minimal palate of Belgian white oak, gray stone and curated clean lines. The first level of the home is open and airy, defined by an entry foyer, living room, expansive kitchen and dining area. Featuring an island lined in a single gray stone slab and custom cabinetry, the kitchen is the showpiece of this level. Top-of-the-line kitchen finishes and appliances include a Liebherr fridge, Bosch oven/stove with a Miele hood and Blanco water fixtures. The entire floor draws to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the south facing garden. A lush and green oasis, the garden is accessible by steel stairs from the dining area/kitchen or directly from the lower level slate patio. A custom built pergola and playset offer an incredible private retreat from the outside world. The charm of the mature landscape and ivy lined walls cannot be replicated. The bedrooms are spread across multiple levels and offer flexible options. The second level features a north facing bedroom with windows overlooking Carroll Street while the south facing bedroom, currently used as a home office, has windows overlooking the private garden and tree tops. All windows are lined in the same Belgian white oak, a masterful detail rarely included a standard renovation. Not to be missed, the lower level of the home has a cozy den / lounge, a fourth bedroom used as a playroom and a full guest bathroom. The full floor penthouse addition houses the jaw-dropping primary suite. The open-concept level flows from the bedroom, massive custom built closet, to the exceptional primary bathroom. The bedroom is lined in floor-to-ceiling picture windows, framing the open views of Brooklyn but enveloped in privacy offered by the backyard trees. In design development, the goal of this level was to create a bespoke, focal point bathroom. The result was a dramatic floating shower, with glass walls and a black slate floor flanked by a double sink vanity and water closet. Additional upgrades and finishes to the home include HVAC zones for each floor, efficient electric heating and cooling controllable from a mobile device, recessed lighting, and automatic shades on the first level and penthouse addition. All bathrooms feature Waterworks Studio fixtures, Kohler sinks and wall hanging toilets for a consistent modern design. Situated in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after brownstone neighborhoods, 319 Carroll Street is a move-in ready solution for those looking for privacy and incredible outdoor space. The unique row of homes on the block seamlessly blend together creating unmatched curb appeal. Carroll Gardens is known for its charming neighborhood feel and is an opportunity to live in a low density area near award-winning restaurants, local shops and the best of Brooklyn.
