Description

This breathtaking Carroll Gardens two-family townhouse has been masterfully designed by Elizabeth Roberts Architecture, and undergone a years long gut renovation. It was finished to the highest standard, bringing timeless townhouse elegance into the modern age. The four-bedroom, two-and-half-bathroom triplex and two-bedroom, one-bathroom garden level feature tasteful premium finishes and copious landscaped outdoor space. This is Brooklyn townhouse perfection, on one of Carroll Gardens most beautiful and storied place blocks.

Through the front gate, pass through the homes huge private impeccably-landscaped front garden, walk up the classic high stoop to enter through the double vestibule inviting you inside this pristine home. The immaculate triplex with herringbone hardwood floors, also features soaring 10-foot ceilings, and full height front windows, high end lighting and bright southern and northern exposures. The open-plan living room welcomes seating and dining areas with a tasteful classic marble fireplace surround for the new gas fireplace. A lovely powder room is tucked neatly under the stairs. Also ideal for entertaining are the fully concealed Sonos speakers in the parlor floor ceiling - with additional speakers throughout the home. The sun-splashed gourmet kitchen is the thing dreams are made of with its wall of windows, custom navy cabinetry, marble counters, subway tile details and farm sink. Chefs will love the state-of-the-art appliances, including Subzero panelized fridge, vented Lacanche range with double ovens and a pot filler, a wine refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and built-in microwave. Enjoy casual meals and conversation at the center island, or step onto the deck for al fresco dining overlooking the patio and glorious garden below.

This smartly designed house provides a private entrance to the upper triplex below the homes stoop as well. There you find a shared mud room, private space with hooks and coat closet and direct access to the cellar which is clean and dry, providing copious storage and a spacious custom cedar closet.

Or from the parlor floor, ascend the beautifully restored staircase to discover two large secondary bedrooms: one overlooking the front garden and a rear bedroom featuring an attached study with a built-in desk and cabinetry. A laundry room with a side-by-side washer dryer and gracious closets reveals a delightful, oversized full bathroom where a beautiful marble hex floor- and subway wall-tile surrounds two wall-mounted sinks and a soaking tub/shower.

The sun-soaked top floor of this house is a private oasis with two spacious bedrooms, flanking a glorious skylit spa bathroom with a double vanity, soaking tub and frameless glass rain shower. A custom walk-in closet is joined by two hall closets on this expansive level that can also serve as a full-floor owners suite.

The spacious garden apartment features a private entrance off the shared mud room, a bright living area with an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and washer/dryer. A large full bathroom is shared by two bedrooms, one of which opens to a private area of the rear patio. The house was designed with an eye to an easy conversion to single family use. Remove one wall and the garden floor is seamlessly combined with the triplex above creating a guest suite with small kitchen and a media room.

This charming Carroll Gardens block is tree-lined and lush, with gracious brownstones and the neighborhoods signature front gardens. Beloved playgrounds abound in Carroll Gardens. Enjoy easy access to the famed shops and restaurants along Smith and Court streets, while F and G trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes put the rest of the city within easy reach.
