Property Description for 16 2nd Place

TREMENDOUS VALUE @ $850 PER SQ FT! ~ MOTIVATED SELLERS16 2nd Place in Carroll Gardens offers a truly rare opportunity in New York City. Situated between large front and back gardens on one of the neighborhoods most beautiful blocks, this 34-foot, extra-wide home boasts almost 6,000 square feet of interior space rich with potential and 3,000 SF of private gardens. Wrought iron gates on 2nd Place welcome you into the lush, 33-foot front garden, where a walkway surrounded by greenery leads to the expansive home with four windows across providing lots of natural light. Upon entering the parlor level, 12' 9" ceilings adorned with original, pre-war detail illustrate the potential waiting to be uncovered. A grand staircase, complete with elegant skylight, brings you to the upper floors, each with high ceilings and spacious bedrooms. At nearly 2,000 square feet, the back garden can be a private retreat or a fabulous space for hosting exquisite, outdoor parties. Built as a grand, single-family home in the 1850s, currently each 1500 SF floor of the house is configured as a floor-through apartment plus a full garden level with a summer kitchen and full bath. With either configuration, 16 2nd Place presents the unique opportunity to create a customized, luxury retreat. The garden and parlor levels would create a magnificent owners duplex with nearly 3,000 square feet of living space while the other floors can generate a substantial rental income. Restored to its original layout, the property would also make an impressive, single-family home unlike any other. Carroll Gardens, named for the beautiful, oversized front gardens unique to the neighborhood, is a quiet oasis for its residents while still offering the best of Brooklyn. Henry Street, Court Street, and Smith Street all provide wonderful dining and shopping options including local favorites such as Buttermilk Channel, Prime Meats, Vinnys, Lucali Pizza, Court Street Grocers, and Frankies 457 Spuntino. Other attractions include Carroll Park and a farmers market on Sundays in front of PS 58. The F & G subway lines are just three blocks away on 2nd Place, and Manhattan is easily accessible via the Battery Park Underpass. EASY TO SHOW. DELIVERED VACANT. SHOWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

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.
