    Shown by appointment only. Please reach out to schedule a private appointment! Impeccably renovated from top to bottom, this spectacular Carroll Gardens home is wonderfully designed to maximize space and offer fantastic flexibility of use. On quiet, tree-lined Nelson Street, the house is filled with custom details throughout, creating a modern feel within a classic brownstone. As you enter, you're greeted by gorgeous light streaming into the expansive, open parlor floor through large windows, front and back. The open plan provides for sizable and distinct living and dining areas. The kitchen is a chef's delight with Wolf appliances including a new six-burner induction cooktop with wall oven below, and a built-in microwave drawer, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero fridge and freezer. Custom cabinetry is topped with quartz counters and a stunning "Moonface" Carrera marble backsplash. Storage and workspace abound with an entire pantry wall along the kitchen Discreetly tucked away adjacent to the kitchen is the stylish powder room. Out the back door, the large deck provides a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, or barbeque on the gas grill and dine al fresco. Stairs from the deck lead to the exceptionally deep backyard. Gorgeously landscaped with a paved dining area in the back, beautiful flowering plants and shrubs, lighting, an irrigation system, and easy-to-maintain turf, the backyard offers tons of space to relax, entertain, and play. From the parlor floor to the top two floors, you will be struck by the remarkable light shining down from the enormous skylight which spans the entire length of the custom floating staircase. The primary bedroom, on the second floor, is a sundrenched, quiet retreat overlooking the backyard. With an expansive custom walk-in closet and a spa-like en suite bath, this space will be your respite at the end of a long day. The front bedroom is also spacious and bright with an adjacent home office/play space, creating a feel of a separate suite. On the top floor, you'll find two more bedrooms, a full-bath, the new LG washer and dryer, and the second home office/ flex space. The king-sized back bedroom, like the primary, overlooks the garden below and gets amazing light through floor-to-ceiling windows. The front bedroom, currently used as a den, has a charming decorative brick fireplace. Each bedroom has a large closet spanning the width of the room. With another wonderful skylight, the flex space makes a great office, gym area, or play room. Finally, the bathroom has a deep soaking tub with a Rain shower and modern finishes and fixtures. Throughout the home you'll find wonderful design details such as wall-integrated LED lighting, exposed brick, six-zone radiant heated floors, ductless AC units, and white oak plank flooring. Currently configured as an upper triplex over a garden rental, conversion to a single-family would be easy. Or, keep the current layout and garner sizable rent from the apartment which was also renovated. Features of the apartment include a modern kitchen with Bosch appliances, Soapstone counters, and marble tile backsplash, a large bathroom with walk-in shower and floating vanity, a washer/dryer combo unit, radiant heated oak flooring and access to the back patio. Midway between Court and Smith Streets, two blocks from the F/G trains at Smith and 9th Street, around the corner from St. Mary's park and playground, and surrounded by great shopping and dining in every direction, this amazing Carroll Gardens location is unbeatable.
