210 President Street, 1-R

Architecturally designed to maximize space and light, this rare, loft-like 2BR/1.5BA Carroll Gardens duplex is the dreamy apartment New Yorkers hope for. Spanning two floors, every inch of this co-op unit is bursting with function and beauty. Step through the entryway and gravitate to the heart of the home: the living and dining area. It's a showstopper with soaring 11' ceilings, original, structural brick pillars and enormous, oversized, south-facing windows spanning the width of the apartment. Step through a glass door out to the unit's two enviable outdoor spaces: a spacious deck, perfect for entertaining or enjoying the outdoors, and the private backyard below. Designed with an architect's eye, this home offers abundant storage options throughout, including a smartly-designed office area, high-reaching storage cabinetry in the kitchen and a large wall shelf system in the dining area. The kitchen is perfect for chefs: enamel-covered and stainless steel appliances, gas range and a massive kitchen island with tremendous countertop space and seating for two. This level of the apartment features white oak floors, a front entryway closet and half-bath. Head down the apartment's staircase to the lower level. There are two peaceful bedrooms, one with exposed brick and a door giving additional access to the unit's private backyard, which includes your very own fig and apple trees. There is a full bathroom including tub, a huge walk-in closet, linen closet and a sizable washer/dryer area with additional storage capacity. 210 President Street is a self-run, 5-unit co-op in the heart of Carroll Gardens. This apartment has close access to the neighborhood's popular restaurants, cafes, shops, boutiques and Carroll Park, and just around the corner from the Carroll Gardens Public Library. Close to the F/G trains at Carroll St. and Citi Bike stations. With low monthlies and a perfect balance of aesthetic and practical function, Unit 1R is a rare opportunity in the sweetest spot of Brooklyn.
