Measuring 19 feet wide, 53 2nd Place offers generous proportions and flexible layouts for a variety of living arrangements.

The back yard area is peaceful and has open sky views and an open vista of the block's gardens giving a sense of space and air. The front garden has a beautiful, mature Japanese maple tree that provides a wonderful view from the front windows.

Located less than two blocks from the Carroll Street subway and Smith Street's abundance of restaurants and one block from Court Street's retail there is not a better spot from which to explore and enjoy the delights of one of Brooklyn's most iconic neighborhoods.

A must see for the opportunity to live in an owner's triplex with rental unit or effortlessly expand into a home of your own.
