1309 Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY 11213

Stately single-family brick townhouse, full of original woodwork and charm, on gorgeous tree-lined block of prime Crown Heights. Bay windows let sunlight flood a parlor living room with original inlaid hardwood floors, large mantel, built in cabinetry and plaster moulded ceilings. Living room opens to a formal dining room with coffered ceiling, original wainscot, and more inlaid hardwood floors. Kitchen at the back is functioning and ready for a modern upgrade, with tin ceiling, original built-ins and a powder room. The two top stories have five bedrooms, two baths, a large top-floor terrace, a perfectly preserved original pass-through dressing closet with built-ins and antique sink, and an enclosed second terrace. Parlor floor ceilings are 9'4", with 8'9" and 8'6" ceilings on the upper two stories. The nautically themed basement has 7'8" ceilings, a large bar, a laundry room at the back, a half bath, a utility room in the middle, and windowed storage room at the front. While basement is below grade, its high ceilings provide significant additional usable space - and may be altered to allow natural light in at the front or back. Total size of the building measured at 3296sf, with 2205sf above grade, 1091sf below grade (with 7'8" ceilings), as well as 1694sf in outdoor spaces (yards, terraces, porch). Backyard opens to an alleyway for vehicle access. City maps show an original garage structure, currently an open cover and paved for parking - yard could be adjusted for more parking or more backyard space. There is a large stone porch at the front of the building. Note, dining room and front hall light fixtures excluded from sale. 1309 Carroll Street has only been owned by two families since it was built 103 years ago. Cared for by the same owners for 70 years, it was well loved by its family, and its original beauty remains perfect and intact. With a few modern upgrades, this grand city residence is ready to be a home again and welcome you in for the next chapter as its third owners in over one hundred years.
