145 Nelson Street

145 Nelson St. is a classic two-family brick townhouse, currently configured as a single-family, located in the heart of lovely Carroll Gardens. The house has been renovated with great attention to detail while preserving all of its original charms, making this home stand apart from every other house on the block.  As you walk up the stoop and enter the gracious foyer, you will be impressed with the 10-foot ceiling, original molding, and exquisite marble fireplace. The living space offers perfect fireside conversations, and the dining area is ideal for dinner parties, as it blends seamlessly with a state-of-the-art modern kitchen featuring custom built-in cabinetry, Wolf appliances, open shelving, and a wall of windows that basks the entire kitchen with sunlight.  The original tin ceilings rarely seen in similar homes have been preserved, and the kitchen features direct access to a massive deck tailor-made for al fresco dining, barbecues, or nightly stargazing. Follow the wide plank floors up the stairs to the music room or bedroom, with oversized closets, across the hall is a large second bedroom with gorgeous natural light and a walk-in closet. On the top floor, you'll also find the tranquil bathroom with dual sinks, making an especially easy morning routine.  On the garden floor, you will find a third bedroom, a fully renovated bathroom with a linen closet, a family room, and an entry to a landscaped garden.  All plumbing and electricals for the garden floor kitchen are still easily accessible if you choose to separate the garden floor to create a second unit.  Additionally and even more attractive, this home has an added 1,300 square feet of buildable space, which you can use to expand the house in the back, or add another floor and (potentially) get some views of the New York harbor and skyline. The fully finished basement is currently being used as a game room, exercise room, and additional storage. Your manicured garden, accessible from the deck or the garden level, has a tiled pathway that is surrounded by evergreens, leading to a conversation seating area under a beautiful flowering tree.
