Property Description for 86 2nd Place, 3
2 BR with large private deck. This sunny 1000 square foot brownstone apartment with open floor-plan and a large 300 square foot private terrace is a rare find on a historic "Place" block in Carroll Gardens. Situated on the second floor, it is exceptionally light and airy. Exposed brick walls, original parquet floors, two working wood burning fireplaces, 11 foot ceilings and other prewar details make for a warm and charming home. The south facing picture window and sliding glass doors leading to the terrace provide the kitchen, living and dining room with year-round sunshine. Step outside for al fresco dining overlooking the gardens of the block. For the chef in the family, there is a new, architect designed, air-conditioned kitchen with extra rows of modern white and glass cabinets, pantry, stainless steel appliances, Italian natural stone counters, dining bar and other touches that are both functional and gorgeous. The oversize master bedroom, separated from the living room by pocket doors, easily accommodates a king sized bed. The second bedroom fits a twin bed and is perfect for a child's nursery or a home office. The three ceiling-height bedroom windows receive morning sunlight and open to views of a quiet tree-lined street. The apartment has a washer and dryer, floor-to-ceiling closets in every room, ceiling fans, basement storage and numerous other conveniences for stylish brownstone living. You are one block from the F and G subway and steps to many Zagat rated restaurants, a neighborhood park, shops and amenities on Court and Smith Street. The apartment is zoned for the well-regarded P.S. 58 and is in a superbly maintained four-unit co-op that has made many recent capital improvements. Pets allowed. Low monthly maintenance.

Carroll Gardens | Brooklyn
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.
