This beautifully designed and exquisitely appointed duplex home is in a 30' wide, newly built townhouse and is as big as most brownstone triplexes. This less vertical living experience offers numerous additional amenities not found in brownstone living. There is an exceptional level of quality and comfort, uncommon in rental properties, coupled with abundant outdoor spaces: a private garden, a 30' wide terrace and 2 balconies. Private indoor parking is available as an extra amenity.
There are four (4) generously proportioned bedrooms, including an expansive Master Suite with a walk-in closet and a Master Bath with a free-standing soaking tub and large spa-quality shower. Each bedroom has a generous amount of closet space fitted with an organizing system to maximize usage and storage. The three (3) baths are appointed with locally-sourced, hand-crafted, wall-mounted bamboo vanities, heated floors, large scale porcelain and mosaic tiles, linear shower drains, GRAFF fixtures, BADELOFT sinks and UNCURTAIN glass shower enclosures.
Large-scale, TRIPLE-glazed LOEWEN sliding doors, each leading to a outdoor space, create a special connection between the inside and outside, while flooding the interior with light and providing superior air circulation and energy efficiency for cooling the Summer months and thermal efficiency for heating the Winter months, in addition to achieving the highest level sound attenuation.
There is an exceptionally large, ergonomically designed, SCAVOLINI kitchen fitted with a 36" JennAir - 6 burner stove and oven and built-in Microwave, a MIELE extractor hood, built-in 36" BOSCH refrigerator and DW, in & under cabinet, dimmable LED lighting, double bowl KRAUS sink and faucet, stone counters and backsplash and a four (4) seat peninsula overlooking the loft-sized Dining and Living area that leads to the private 800 sq ft, rear garden.

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.
