15 3rd Place

Built in the 1860s, 15 Third Place sits on one of Brooklyns prettiest tree-lined blocks, with deep front yards that convey a sense of being in the countryside. This grand four-story brownstone retains its original Italianate design, with a high stoop, thick window frames, and wood cornice. Currently configured as a lower duplex plus basement and an upper duplex, 15 3rd Place could easily be converted to a triplex plus garden rental (kitchen plumbing is in place behind the walls of the garden floor). The building was beautifully renovated in 2007 and 2010. While preserving the historic details and character of the house, the owners installed new plumbing, electric, central a/c, windows, kitchens and bathrooms, and a new roof. 15 3rd Place was well built by its original developers over 150 years ago, as evidenced by the brick arches in the basement and the levelness of the floors above. This historic home has stood the test of time better than most, even before its recent renovation. On the garden floor you will find two large bedrooms with over-sized closets, a full bath, and a door to the backyard. The parlor floor has a loft like feeling and is flooded with light from front and back, with tin ceilings that soar 11 feet high, pumpkin pine and parquet floors, and a large kitchen, which is luxuriously equipped with a Jenn-Air range, Liebherr refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and custom cherry cabinets. An island with seating for three is topped with a large slab of thick Carrera marble. The kitchen steps out to a full width steel and slate deck, which feels like an extra room and looks out over a sunny landscaped garden.The townhouse's original staircase leads up to a sunny duplex with three or four bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom is 17 feet long and has a huge walk-in closet. The master bath includes a deep soaking tub with Kohler fixtures and a window that looks out over the backyard. The laundry room is equipped with a large Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer. On the top floor three windows shed light across the kitchen and deep into the living room. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and cork flooring.The shops, restaurants and other amenities of Carroll Gardens are nearby, as are the F/G trains, and Clinton St, which is known to be one of the easiest places to catch a taxi. Come to this quiet Carroll Gardens Place block and make this bright, beautiful, and elegant home your own. Delivered vacant.
