A Bright Carroll Gardens Corner
This brick, single-family home in Carroll Gardens is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of its corner location. Light streams in from three sides most times of day, revealing a recent renovation that turned this late 19th-century building into a wonderful, warm home steps away from the vibrant restaurant and shopping scene on Smith Street and Cobble Hill.
Entering the parlor floor through the restored, original arched doors, one comes to an open living area made for entertaining, with an easy flow from kitchen to dining area to front parlor with gas fireplace. There is also a convenient half bath on the entry floor. The kitchen was designed for avid cooks with Sub-Zero, Viking, and Asko appliances, a California Closets pantry, a real range hood vented directly outdoors, and plenty of room to work. Steps lead from the kitchen’s glass door to the ultimate convenience: a deck/outdoor space for entertaining and parking. The parking area is accessed from the street through a sliding door in the home’s privacy fencing.
Upstairs, the master bedroom floor features a distinctive media room/library currently used as music room – including a large alcove that accommodates a grand piano. The master bedroom has three sunny windows, a double closet with California Closets built-ins, and an en suite bath.
The top bedroom floor includes two large bedrooms with expansive views and lots of light, each with closet organizers built in. The new, full bath is located next to the laundry with a sink and linen storage. There is a separate linen closet down the hall. A sunny, smaller front room is used as a library/study with built-in bookshelves and desk.
The garden level has been converted to use as a two-office suite with separate entry and a half-bath. The corner exposure provides more light than most garden-level rooms. Perfect for those who work at home, or easily convertible to another bedroom floor to total six possible bedrooms in the house.
Mechanicals and systems are up-to-date, including new central air conditioning in two zones, new gas-fired furnace, all located in a dry cellar with plenty of storage, with re-pointed bricks and steel supports. The cellar also houses a laundry with sink.
This meticulously maintained home is offered at $3.3M.
