    What's special

    This special 1697 SF duplex condo is located in a boutique 6-unit building in prime Carroll Gardens. Completely renovated in 2017 this 2 bedroom & 3 full bath home has been reimagined with designer finishes, AC, an open kitchen, and a huge great room with formal dining. The home also has an enormous recreation room located on the lower level with a full bathroom and flexible space for a gym, home offices, a playroom, and incredible storage. And one of the best features of this home is a private garden with a massive Cherry Tree & plant beds with plenty of space to cook, play & entertain. The building is set back from the street with a gorgeous garden and Cherry trees out front for optimal privacy. Sun streams in from south facing windows and bathes the great room in natural light. This open concept room offers up dramatic space for a sizable living room & formal dining space, and it flows seamlessly into the chef's kitchen. Renovated with family practicality, taste, and playful aesthetics in mind just a couple of years ago, the kitchen includes custom mid-blue & white lacquered cabinetry, a handmade hexagonal white tiled backsplash with white & grey veined Caesarstone countertops, stylish Brass hardware, and pendant lighting. The appliances include a Jenn-Air gas range, a French door Fisher Paykel fridge, and a double set of Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawers. With an island that seats four, this kitchen is an entertainer's dream. Heading to the back of the apartment, you will pass a double coat closet with custom organizers, a washer dryer closet with full size, vented machines and extra storage, as well as a linen closet. At the rear of the apartment, you will find both bedrooms with northwestern exposure. Each of the bedrooms can accommodate king-sized bedroom furnishings. The principal bedroom features a massive, custom organized walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a cool Brooklyn vibe, an oversized reclaimed wood vanity, floor-to-ceiling tiles, a frameless walk-in shower, and brass hardware. The second bathroom features classic white subway tile in a herringbone pattern, Carrara marble, and a white vanity with contemporary mixed metals hardware & plumbing. Walk-out through new patio doors to your own, super low maintenance backyard embellished with established plants including a drool-worthy pale pink cherry blossom tree that helps welcome the spring in. The yard is large enough to accommodate a grilling area, a dining area, and a play area for fun and entertainment all year round. Head downstairs to a sizable recreation room where the possibilities are endless. One large walk-in closet offers unrivaled storage. There is also an unexpected full bathroom complete with a frameless shower, Moroccan cement tiles & a grey lacquer vanity. The current owners use this lower level for an extra guest room, media room, play area, office and home gym. It can be divided into a few spaces for multiple uses depending on your needs and has been outfitted with a split AC, wood flooring and a huge custom built-in bookcase. This friendly 6-unit condo is a stone's throw from the best amenities in Cobble Hill including schools, shops, restaurants, movie theatres, and parks. Grocery options are vast and less than a block away. Award-winning restaurants & bars include Lucali Pizza, Bar Bruno, Mazzola Bakery, La Cigogne, Poppy's & Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Shop. Subway lines are the F/G at Carroll Street and many parking garages are also nearby for your convenience. This home is the complete package in one of Brooklyn's most coveted low density and landmarked neighborhoods. And this building is pet friendly too!
