Property Description for 78 2nd Place, 1

Set in a grand, 25' wide, classic Carroll Gardens Brownstone, Unit 1 at 78 2nd Place is a massive, 2BR/2.5BA duplex condo with private backyard, offering fresh and modern design with Scandanavian sensibility. The home begins with its private entrance just under the townhouse stoop. Step through the apartment's glassed entry into the dedicated foyer and you are greeted with 22' long, wide Dinesen Douglas Fir plank floors and Snelling Studio brushed metal wall sconces. Step further into the apartment and you are struck by the unit's stunning natural color palette, designer finishes and clean architectural flow. The sun-splashed living room has gracious proportion and features a wall of south-facing, floor to ceiling windows showcasing the apartment's private backyard. Anchored by a vast kitchen island--a welcoming place to sit and connect--the kitchen is beautifully balanced with custom Shinnoki oak cabinetry and Caesarstone polished cement-style backsplash. Just off of the living room is the inviting second bedroom which also faces the backyard. The front of the home has the primary bedroom with north-facing exposure, ample closet capacity, ensuite primary bathroom and enough space for a both king-sized bed and office area. Both bedrooms feature California Closets and Pierre Frey fabric wallpaper. The apartment's two full baths are on this upper level and are elegantly appointed with Florim palazzo porcelain tile, Porcelanosa, Vigo and Hansgrohe fixture finishes. The lower level of the apartment is an enormous finished rec room with flexible layout, direct patio access and south-facing windows. On this level is a laundry room, an entire wall of storage, large closets and a half-bath. The backyard is 500+sf and fulfills all of your wishes for outdoor living: it can accommodate multiple seating areas, a large dining table and a planting area spanning the length of the back wall, perfect for exercising your gardening skills and creating your own personal green getaway. 78 2nd Place is a small, boutique luxury condo residence. Set on one of the coveted Place blocks that makes Carroll Gardens singularly special, this building has a management company in place and prime positioning to the very best dining, shopping and nightlife the neighborhood offers.

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.
