A rare gem — this truly breathtaking two-bedroom parlor floor-through has been delicately preserved and gorgeously redesigned. On the parlor floor of an intimate self-managed brownstone co-op in prime Carroll Gardens, you'll find yourself transported to a Brooklyn not-quite old and not-quite new: a timeless reimagining of a historic marvel.
Twelve-foot ceilings, cupcake and crown moldings, marble fireplaces, pocket doors, and a grand pier mirror, original from the 1800s, have been maintained in pristine condition. A thorough renovation has added an airy modern ease to the home's classic proportions: walls moved to improve flow, floors relaid with Madera white ash chevron flooring, vintage fixtures hung, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling bookshelf designed and installed.
The kitchen features modern floor-to-ceiling storage, white marble countertops, a Bertazzoni oven, a Subzero fridge, a Bosch dishwasher, and the earthy touch of brick paver flooring.
The bathroom/washroom is tucked into the space under the grand stairway of the building with a laundry closet (including full-size stack washer and dryer) and storage attached, and is full of charming angles and surprising space, with a Catchpole & Rye Soaking Tub, marble tiles, and a Restoration Hardware marble sink.
The two generous bedrooms have frosted glass doors, white-painted wood floors, insulated windows, and southern garden views.
Nestled in the heart of Carroll Gardens, 86 2nd Place is a self-managed co-op that reflects the warm communal feeling of the neighborhood, with its beautiful brownstones, verdant front gardens, tree-lined streets, lush parks, and incredible eateries, coffee shops, and grocery stores (Abilene, Frankie's 457, Lucali's, and Santo Bruklin; East One Coffee Roasters; Caputo's). The F/G trains at Carroll Street are just one block away — but the home itself is another world.
Elegant, exquisite, and available now: 86 2nd Place #2 is proudly represented by the Jane Advisory.
