112 Second Place, Carroll Gardens

A rare and grand 25-foot-wide, four-story, multi-family townhouse is now being offered in the coveted area of Carroll Gardens. This beautiful Neo-classical revival brownstone was built circa 1850 and still has much of its original detail and grandeur. The over-sized, legal four-family home, offers more than 5,000 square feet of interior space as well as large rear and front gardens. The building is steeped in history and was originally owned by a famous family  known for their philanthropic work within New York communities in the later part of the 19th century.

You will be hard pressed to find a lovelier home. If you are looking for a project, the property can be converted to an enormous single family mansion. The basement consists of an additional 1,400 square with five large brick archways. This presents tremendous potential to create a functional, spacious recreation room and a one-of-a-kind owners triplex.

The owners duplex is currently comprised of the garden and parlor floors with four bedrooms, three full baths, formal living and dining rooms, library and additional home office. This unit offers roughly 2,800 square feet of living space, with high ceilings that accentuate the original details. The apartment is adorned with ornamental molding, hardwood floors with inlays, a decorative fireplace and French doors. The large, light-filled kitchen opens into the dining room, which features two enormous south-facing windows that overlook the private garden.  It is equipped with 42 cabinets, tremendous counter space, and stainless steel appliances. There is also an in-unit washer and dryer.

Above the owner's duplex are two apartments located on the third and fourth floors. Both units feature 10-foot-high pressed-tin ceilings, large windows and updated kitchens. The apartments have identical layouts, featuring separate living and dining room areas, as well as a large master bedroom. There are arched entry-ways between all of the common spaces, and charming French doors that lead into the master bedroom. Off the master bedroom is a second smaller bedroom or private home office. The second bedroom has a separate private entrance, as well as a large north-facing window.

This lovely home is located on a quiet, tree-lined block close to parks and public transportation. The house is a half block from the F and G subway lines, and three stops to Manhattan (less than 15 minutes by train). Located in PS 58 zone, The Carroll School is a well-established elementary school, best-known for its French-English dual language program. 2nd Place is conveniently located between two major streets (Smith and Court), with numerous shops, parking options, grocery stores, and trendy restaurants and bars.
