About This Home
All showings by appointment only. Are you looking for classic townhouse character combined with light-filled modern touches? Do you feel like outdoor space and off-street parking are a far-fetched fantasy? Can't quite find a true move-in ready home? Buckle up - this may be 'the one'. This luxurious two-family home sits at the crossroads of the best Brooklyn has to offer. Currently configured as an owner's duplex with an attached garage over a guest duplex, this stunning townhouse was gut-renovated by the current owners and configured to make the most of the location and exposures. Private outdoor spaces are a highlight, with a kitchen terrace perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and a roof deck for tanning in private on those hot summer days. Step inside to discover sun-filled interiors, multiple exposures, and beautiful neighborhood views from the oversized windows. The main floor seamlessly flows from the living room to the kitchen and dining area, and on to the garden terrace, making it the perfect entertaining space. And the eat-in kitchen is an absolute masterpiece, complete with a marble sink and counters, a modern induction stove, steam oven, and dishwasher. Meanwhile, custom cabinets provide storage for all your essentials. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms occupy the upper level, with floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, and a stunning windowed staircase to ensure brilliant daylight illuminates your home. Custom closets are featured in the bedrooms, a full-size washer/dryer in the primary, along with a deep soaking tub in the guest bathroom. But the pièce de résistance is the sunlit spa-like primary ensuite, which features a most generous shower and marble-topped double vanity, The lower duplex has a modern kitchen with clean lines and an open plan layout, making it ideal for friends and family. Configured with a full bathroom, powder room, and laundry, it provides great flexibility, either as a guest suite, a rental, or connected with the upper duplex via the central staircase to make an incredible single-family home. Thoughtfully renovated and move-in ready, this exquisite townhouse is an urban oasis offering unparalleled style and function, all just a few stops from downtown Manhattan. Multiple split units manage internal temperatures, and sunlight streams into every floor. Meanwhile, the attached garage ensures you never need to worry about parking, with enough space for a standard-size SUV and much more. Don't miss your chance to make this your home and see why Carroll Gardens is one of the most livable neighborhoods in the city. Ideally located one block from Smith Street, where you'll find local favorites such as Bar Béte for fine dining, Barely Disfigured for cocktails, and Malai for sensational ice cream treats. Prince Street Pizza has just arrived to compete with the local fixtures, so we have pizza options like no other here. Gowanus is full of vibrant new energy, and the F/G train keeps you within easy reach of Manhattan and Williamsburg. Showing by appointment only. Broker/owner.
