On the parlor floor, an expansive living room with double-height windows & formal dining room with an adjacent wet bar & buffet station afford an effortless flow for the host. The parlor level overlooking the family room on the garden level creates a sense of drama & open space. Spill out to the impeccably landscaped rear garden oasis graced by magnolia, persimmon, espaliered apple & tea trees, illuminated by built-in underground lighting, for relaxing with family and guests.
The voluminous family room with soaring ceilings is a perfect backdrop for gatherings. The stunning open Calacatta marble kitchen brightened by towering windows is equipped with premium Wolf, Bosch & Sub-Zero appliances & a casual dining area for morning fare. A well-appointed mudroom with custom built-ins, spacious guest bedroom & powder room complete the garden level.
Three bedrooms with generous custom closets, luxurious baths & a laundry room occupy the 3rd floor. Bedrooms share a quiet sitting area facing lovely tree-lined 1st Place.

Quick Profile
Filled with charming churches, whose ringing bells punctuate the days, together with quirky boutiques, trendy bars, Italian bakeries, and restaurants featuring a wide variety of cuisines, with an emphasis on traditional Italian cuisine, Carroll Gardens maintains a sense of Old World charm. While most of the restaurants are small and family-owned, there are Michelin-rated restaurants for those special date nights. Abundant coffee shops and bakeries ensure you are never far from a tasty pastry and your next cup of joe.
Unlike many neighborhoods, Carroll Gardens has an impressive array of grocery stores, including the popular Court Street Grocers. While Carroll Park is the main green space, located in the heart of the neighborhood, there are other parks, such as the Brooklyn Bridge Park, Cadman Plaza Park, and Van Voorhees Playground, all within easy walking distance.
Court and Smith Streets are the main commercial areas, packed with bakeries, intimate bars, unique boutiques, and small mom-and-pop Italian cafes, many with sidewalk or patio seating. Court Street has most of the older businesses that have operated for generations in the same location. Smith Street has more trendy establishments.
If you are looking for a neighborhood that is quieter and less congested, Carroll Gardens might be a perfect fit. It is a great place to raise a family, with good schools and safe streets. It is the type of place where you will know the names of your neighbors and the owners of the shops and restaurants you frequent. It is a great walkable neighborhood for retirees, and an easy commute into the city for young professionals. The streets are shady and tree-lined, and many feature brownstones and townhouses that sport sizeable front gardens, adding to the natural charm of the neighborhood.
