Description

Truly gorgeous three-story, single-family brick townhouse located on an exquisite Smith/Hoyt garden block in Carroll Gardens. This property has been carefully restored and renovated to preserve the tin ceilings, moldings and other architectural gems, while adding modern amenities like central air conditioning, top of the line kitchen and baths, plus updated plumbing, electrical and communication lines. The house, which is in absolute move-in condition, has three bedrooms and two full baths on the third floor; a front parlor, rear library, and separate home office on the parlor floor; and an eat-in kitchen, dining room and brand new full bath on the ground floor. There's even a fully equipped screening room on the basement level, with a separate den/extra bedroom off the screening room which is separated by pocket doors. A gorgeous planted south garden in back is bright and sunny, featuring lush Concord grape vines shading the pergola at the back of the house. There's also a front garden with an irrigation system facing 2nd Street. This house is perfectly located a stone's throw from some of Brooklyn's finest restaurants and shops, fantastic parks, Whole Foods, and the Carroll St. stop of the F train.
