Description

52 Second Place is a beautifully restored four-story brownstone located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The deep front gardens of this quiet tree-lined street are what give this charming locale its name. This elegant home, configured as an owner's triplex above a floor-through rental, reveals the classic original details and proportions of the 19th century with modern updates including new kitchen and baths, new plumbing, roof, brownstone facade and Marvin windows. Enter up the stoop into a large and lovely parlor floor living room graced with crown molding and one of five marble decorative fireplaces. Continue into the delightful, large and bright eat-in kitchen with Crown Point custom cabinets, soapstone counters and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens onto a south-facing deck and garden. Head up the graceful center stairway to the top two floors where four large bedrooms are flooded with light pouring through the new windows with their restored original shutters. The two full baths have been lovingly designed to echo the style and charm of centuries gone by - one with a claw foot tub original to the house! This special house is ideally located near the shops and restaurants of Court and Smith Streets, two blocks from the F train, and 3 short blocks to the historic, beautiful and fun Carroll Park!
