Lovely and Classic Townhouses like this rarely come along in Carroll Gardens
6 3rd Street is a spacious two-family townhouse with a spacious owner's triplex and a well-outfitted garden rental/mother-in-law/au pair apartment close to all in Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, Cobble Hill, and more. With easy access to Manhattan from the F train just a block away.
The upper triplex (parlor and two floors above plus a half bath on garden level and access to the full basement) has been lovingly renovated with contemporary luxuries and finishes while retaining the character and feel of its original details.
Walk up the stoop to the upper triplex's grand parlor floor with its spacious, open double parlor with two fireplaces (one decorative and one plumbed for gas), a chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero, Viking, and Bosch appliances, lush wood floors, a 1/2 bath, and more. Step right out of the bright kitchen onto a private deck with stairs going down to the South-facing garden.
Upstairs are two more floors with five bedrooms, two full baths, closets in every room, a skylight over the stairs, and full side-by-side laundry.
Other smart features of this upper duplex include: a half-bath discretely tucked away on the garden level and private access to the full basement with ample space for storage, and central air zoned and controlled for each floor. All, resplendent with light from all these windows, many of them South-facing!
On the garden level is a separate two-bedroom apartment with private entry under the stoop, laundry, and a covered patio opening onto the garden. This apartment could easily be combined with the triplex or used as a separate income-producing rental or outfitted as an au-pair or home office/gym/work space.
The townhouse is in meticulous condition for move-in, or poised for a full renovation into a grand home.

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.
