48 2nd Place

This gorgeous 4-story brownstone sits on one of the distinctive ?place blocks? of Carroll Gardens, which are sought after for their unusually deep front yards. The front gardens at 48 Second Place and its neighbors are home to trees, flowers and plantings which convey a sense of being in the country. Built in the 1850?s in the Italianate style, this classic townhouse retains its single family layout, and much of its original detail, including six marble mantles, crown moldings, pocket doors, and a grand central staircase. The parlor floor has ceilings over 11 feet high and flows beautifully. The entry foyer leads to a den overlooking the front garden, a middle parlor with wet bar, and a spacious rear parlor with large windows facing onto a beautiful verdant backyard. Upstairs there are five sunny bedrooms and two full baths. On the garden level there?s a recently renovated kitchen with lots of counter space, a comfortable den, a full bath, and a dining room which opens onto the backyard. The sunny south-facing backyard is tranquil and private. The shops, restaurants and other amenities of Carroll Gardens are nearby, as are the F/G trains for a quick commute to Manhattan.
