78 2nd Street

Fully renovated townhouse on idyllic Carroll Gardens block.

Rare opportunity to own a turnkey two-family home in this cherished neighborhood. Be the first to live in this beautifully renovated 3+br/3ba triplex with extravagant outdoor space. Enjoy income from the top floor rental, or combine for a massive single family home. While this historic property was one of the earliest to be built in the neighborhood, it has been reimagined for the next century. Enter through the lush front garden, where a surprisingly spacious dwelling awaits. Every inch of this triplex has been renovated with white oak hardwood floors, classic marble baths and a kitchen you must see to believe. In addition to the large, comfortable rooms, there are exceptional closets throughout, each with built in features to make storage a breeze.

The simple facade conceals an elegant, modern home. The first floor mudroom entry has a marble floor - kick off your boots and leave your cares at the door. The extraordinary kitchen features lacquered cabinets, stainless appliances, acres of storage and stone countertops. There's plenty of space for a dining table or island. Step down to the large living/dining room, with a full wall of glass to the mature garden beyond. Open the sliding doors and enjoy seamless indoor/outdoor living. This level also features a bedroom overlooking the front garden, a double coat closet, and a large marble bath with tub and shower.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a true retreat. This king-sized room has an expansive closet with built-ins galore, and a glass door to a huge private terrace. Down the hall is the third bedroom with yet another oversized closet, as well as a luxurious windowed bathroom with double sink. Enjoy the cross breeze, or cool down with energy efficient split unit air conditioners.

Down the stairs you'll find a huge media/guest room with projector and motorized screen. This windowed space is ideal for working from home as well. The adjacent room is perfect for a guest room, office or gym - there's even a sauna! And still another full marble bath with spa-style shower. Is a laundry room with a full-sized vented washer/dryer on your "must have" list? You'll find that as well.

The top floor rental unit has just been updated. With its own private terrace, washer/dryer, eat-in kitchen and large living room, this one-bedroom apartment will generate substantial monthly rent. Or combine it with the triplex to create a massive, four story home. There's even FAR available if you still need room to grow!
