This classic Italianate style townhouse with a beautifully restored brownstone facade is on a tree-lined street in Carroll Gardens, one of brownstone Brooklyn's favorite neighborhoods. An unusually quiet and tranquil location, the home enjoys views of St. Paul's Church, a High Victorian Gothic style landmark across the street, and a lovely south-facing garden to the rear. Approximately 3,000 square feet, it is currently a single-family residence, with four floors and a full cellar below. Annual taxes $4,070. Graceful arched entry doors open to the parlor floor and center staircase. There is a small front room, used as a receiving room in the 1800's, and a large rear parlor overlooking the garden. This floor is typically fully opened in a Brooklyn Modern style renovation. The garden level of the home has a separate entrance and under-stoop storage area, an open kitchen, dining and living area, full bath, and door to the garden. There is a full cellar below the garden level floor. The top two floors have four bedrooms and a full bath on each floor, with a washer dryer located on the top floor. Preservation-minded buyers will appreciate the historic details saved during a renovation in the late 1990's, including floors, doors and woodwork, carved white marble mantlepiece, plaster moldings, and the original staircase with skylight. The center staircase and lofty ceilings on each floor are characteristic of this mid-19th century style; the ceiling height, full-width front and rear rooms, and north and south facing windows allow for bright, light-infused interiors. This community has long been a destination, and attractions include Carroll Park, one block away, home to a year-round Sunday Greenmarket, the Union Market on Court Street and many other specialty shops and eateries. It is one block from PS58 and a short distance to the Brooklyn waterfront, with paths leading north to Brooklyn Bridge Park and south to the Fairway Market in Red Hook. Transportation around Brooklyn and to Manhattan is a breeze with yellow cabs on Clinton Street and the newly restored Carroll Street stop for the F train, one block away.
