The expansive open-concept living and entertaining area is flooded with natural light through three oversized bay windows and offers ample space for both living and formal dining. The renovated kitchen features a large breakfast bar with seating for four, custom white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage and prep space. Just off the living room, Pocketed doors lead to the first bedroom, featuring a large window and generous closet space — perfect as a guest room, nursery, or home office. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms, including the spacious primary suite with south-facing windows overlooking the tranquil gardens below, a large closet, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath with double vanities and a walk-in shower. The third bedroom is equally well-proportioned and enjoys sunny southern exposures. Additional highlights include high ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, excellent closet space, a full-sized washer and dryer in a dedicated laundry closet, and a private storage cage in the basement. The building also offers convenient bike storage and stroller parking. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with the building’s signature landscaped front gardens and a stunning common roof deck featuring panoramic 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, and the Statue of Liberty.

Pet-friendly with exceptionally low monthlies.

Carroll Gardens | Brooklyn

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.
