1243 Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY 11213

Welcome to 1243 Carroll Street, a 2 story single family townhouse in the heart of Crown Heights.  This early 20th century row house satisfies your anticipation for what a gilded age era home offers.  The formality of its victorian floor plan, with oak wood parquet floors, floor to ceiling pier mirror and wood mantled fire place, remind us how "well to do Brooklynites" lived back then. The parlor floor was meant to make a statement for families who regularly entertained, hosting formal dinners in its dining room where oak wood wainscoting lines the entire perimeter with a wood coffered, diamond patterned ceiling competes with the built in curio cabinets.  Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, with 2 boasting walk-in closets installed in what would have been a pass through with a pocket door.  We could go on about the expansive English basement awaiting your design aesthetic or the backyard that doubles as a car port off the private road behind the building, but it's better if you see it in person.  Request the floor plan and schedule a tour this weekend.
