About This Property
Showing by appointment Sat 9/26, Sun 9/27, Monday 9/28 – please
email [email protected] No. 52 is a beautifully
restored four-story brownstone, located on one of the top blocks in
Carroll Gardens, perhaps all of Brooklyn. The house is set
back from the tree-lined street, with a deep and lovely front
garden. The 33 foot front garden, a characteristic of the
"Place Streets", extends the total usable lot to 113 feet in
length. The house is believed to be built in the early 1870s,
and retains many of its classic original details, with modern
upgrades, finishes and amenities. It is configured as an
owner's triplex above a floor-through rental, following a
multi-year restoration completed in 2018. Enter up the
stoop, graced with original Italianate double entry doors, into a
large and lovely parlor floor living room with original ceiling
medallion, plaster moldings, refinished wood floors, and one of
five original marble fireplaces. Continue into the large and
bright eat-in kitchen with custom cabinets, soapstone counters,
marble mosaic tile backsplash, and Wolf / Subzero appliances.
There is a charming powder room on the parlor level, a rare
amenity for houses on this street. The large kitchen opens
onto a south-facing deck off the kitchen, with motorized canvas
awning, and stairs leading down to the sunny and grassy back
garden. Head up the restored original center stairway to the
upper two floors, where four large bedrooms are in the trees, and
get great light pouring through replaced wood windows. The
house's original shutters are intact and have been restored. Two
full baths have period finishes like honed hex tile, a claw foot
tub that's original to the house, with new sinks / vanity.
Baths, plumbing, a new brownstone facade, cornice restoration, and
wood windows were fitted during the first phase of the renovation.
The second phase included refinishing of the original floors,
plaster restoration and paint, installation of an 8 zone air
conditioning and high efficiency heating system with mechanicals
located on the roof, and air handlers concealed above closets and
ceilings. The garden apartment was also completely remodeled
in 2017/18, relocating the living room to the front, a new kitchen
to the center of the floor and a 5th bedroom to the rear, with its
own entrance to the garden and bluestone patio underneath the deck.
The Garden level generates over $3,000 a month in income
currently, could be used as a guest, nanny, or "in-law" apartment.
The existing original staircase and doorways from parlor to garden
all still in place if the buyer would like to use this level a 5th
bedroom, library, or media room. There is a dry cellar below
the garden, currently used as a studio / workshop and storage, with
the potential for more finished space. This special townhouse
house is "done" - it needs nothing to be enjoyed. Ideally
located near the shops, schools, and restaurants of Court and Smith
Streets, two blocks from the Carroll Street F train, and a short
walk to PS 58 and Carroll Park! $3,995,000 Listed by
Owner / Agent. Offering 2.5% to buyer agent.
