Property Description for 161 Carroll Street
This brownstone on tree-lined Carroll Street is configured as a 3-family with a garden parlor duplex and third and fourth floor simplex apartments. It is a handsome 19th century house on a deep lot with a lovely rear garden and enclosed front yard. High ceilings and north and south-facing windows allow for light infused interiors. The home is architect-owned, and the renovation has a Brooklyn Modern sensibility with many original details preserved.
The parlor level has an open kitchen, dining and living area, full bath, and huge windows overlooking the garden. There are two bedrooms and another full bath on the garden level. The master bedroom, with en-suite bath, opens to a lovely garden. The top two top floors are attractively renovated rentals. The third floor has a lease through November 2015 and the duplex and top floor will be delivered vacant. Beneath the garden level, there is a full cellar and abundant storage. Approximately 3720 sf, the home is in move-in condition, and whether you choose to occupy the lower duplex and maintain an income stream, or convert to a single family, is a matter of choice.
Carroll Gardens is a destination for fans of the Brooklyn brownstone life-style, and attractions include Carroll Park, one block away, a year-round Sunday Greenmarket, the Union Market on Court Street and many other specialty shops and eateries. It is one block from PS 58 and a short distance to the Brooklyn waterfront, with paths leading north to Brooklyn Bridge Park and south to the Fairway Market in Red Hook. Transportation around Brooklyn and to Manhattan is a breeze with yellow and green cabs on Clinton Street, and the Carroll Street stop for the F train one block away.
Showings by appointment will be scheduled for Saturday and Sunday September 6th and 7th.

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.
