207 President Street

When you dream of Brooklyn, I'm pretty sure this is what you see. And Apartment Therapy agrees, as it was just featured. Situated on a charming brownstone block in Carroll Gardens, this breathtaking townhouse is charm personified, and oh so livable. Thoughtfully upgraded and beautifully maintained over the years, this legal three-family four-story house, is currently used as two units: a four-bedroom, two-bathroom owner's triplex with income-producing garden apartment below. The house has also air-conditioning and new windows throughout.

This bright and airy townhouse is filled with coveted architectural details, including sky-high ceilings, arched doorways, ornate moldings, exposed brick, wide-plank floors and an intact pier mirror in the foyer. The sunny parlor floor provides a sweet living room facing south and an immense eat-in kitchen with the perfect blend of industrial character and modern function. Stainless steel cabinetry is set against exposed brick and top of the line appliances are juxtaposed with the original mantelpiece. The deck provides an extension of the living area, where you can grill and dine al fresco while overlooking the lush rear yard.

Exposed beams top the stunning third-floor master suite where oversized barn doors reveal an en suite windowed bathroom filled with rustic brick, a glass shower, freestanding soaking tub and two vanities. A huge dressing closet leads to a second bedroom that functions beautifully as a studio or sitting room and showcases another original marble mantel. On the top floor, the front bedroom has another fireplace with beautiful mantel. The rear of this floor is a lovely studio with small kitchenette and full bathroom. This could be easily converted to a bedroom and bathroom or guest suite, or a wet bar for entertaining. There are plenty of options to make this space your own.

The garden level boasts a stunning rental unit or guest suite featuring painted brick, tin ceilings, gas fireplace with stone mantel, a pretty and modern bathroom with Phillipe Starck fixtures, plus a second smaller bathroom, and access to the rear yard. The cellar is partially finished and quite usable, outfitted with massive storage spaces and a laundry room with washer and dryer. The cellar can be accessed directly through the garden apartment or the front hatch.

Located on a lovely brownstone block in the heart of Carroll Gardens, this stunning townhouse is surrounded by the dining, shopping and residential bliss the area is known for. Cult favorite Lucali is just around the corner, plus Buttermilk Channel, Frankies 457, Prime Meats, La Vara and so many more restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, exercise studios, and so much more, all within blocks. Nearby F and G trains provide easy access to the rest of the city.
