As featured in the New York Times Home & Garden Section. Quietly tucked away at a turn in Carroll Street sits this splendid and bright neo-Grec brownstone dating to 1874. A sun-splashed double parlor features two period fireplaces and original light fixtures, plus high ceilings with original mouldings above restored wide-planked floors. The ground floor has been upgraded with a world-class kitchen featuring a quartzite center island and professional appliances including a Capital Precision range. A full bath and formal dining room (or family room) is also on this level. French doors lead out to the dreamlike planted garden replete with two flowering fruit trees. Back inside, the top floor contains two quiet bedrooms suites, walk-in closet, two bathrooms, and a windowed nursery. Details are in abundance, outside and in: recessed pocket shutters, scalloped tin ceilings, reclaimed mantlepieces, and more. The 3-story house has been lovingly maintained and recently upgraded with new marble bathrooms, all-new electrical, and three-zone ducted central air. Refinished original floors throughout. Windowed office. Three full renovated baths. Two working fireplaces. Rear parlor easily converts to a stunning, sun-filled primary suite, should you choose. Vented laundry room. Clean and dry cellar storage. Built 19.25 x 40 plus rear extension on 70 foot lot. Exceptional style and superior condition. Just one block to Smith Street boutique shopping and world-class restaurants; two blocks to the Carroll Street stop and Carroll Park. A beautiful and historic opportunity in the finest of Brownstone Brooklyn.
