Description
The property underwent an extensive gut-renovation and no expense was spared in creating this amazing single-family...Dreaming of living on a picturesque Brooklyn block of centuries-old townhomes? Your opportunity awaits at 48 1st Street, located in the tight-knit, charming, and tree-filled community of Carroll Gardens. This Federal style, 20” wide townhouse has been meticulously designed and lovingly restored to maintain original detail while seamlessly integrating a bespoke contemporary aesthetic.
The property underwent an extensive gut-renovation and no expense was spared in creating this amazing single-family residence. The home is a perfectly proportioned three-story townhouse with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a formal living room, a dining room, family room, plus a children’s playroom, and a fully finished basement serving as a media room/music room which is currently accommodating two home office spaces.
The garden level is flooded with natural light and leads to the meticulously landscaped south-facing patio and a beautiful backyard ideal for indoor/outdoor living. The bright, open floor plan features an expansive chef’s kitchen, dining room, and living room with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves and an ornamental fireplace. The sleek, gourmet kitchen is finished with high-end appliances, white marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island. Designed to be the heart of the home and meant for family gatherings, there is also a charming windowed bathroom, with a freestanding soaking tub, pedestal sink, and wainscotting on this level.
Enter the home through the elegantly restored foyer with modern Moroccan cement tiles paired with the original, fully-restored doors into your grand parlor. In keeping with the traditional use of the parlor level with its sweeping ceilings, the front half is used as a formal sitting room with a showpiece vintage crystal chandelier, pier mirror, and retains original finishes including oversized windows with shutters and decorative original mantle.
The back of the parlor level houses the oversized and sunny primary bedroom touting all the opulence one could wish for including walk-in closets, luxurious ensuite bathroom with steam shower and free-standing tub, along with an oversized terrace looking out over the garden to relax and enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as you watch the sunrise and set.
Go up the elegantly curved staircase to the top floor which features skylights allowing the sun to stream onto the generous landing with built-in custom workspace being used as a playroom for the kiddos and three light and bright bedrooms along with a full bathroom. The bedrooms are all outfitted with generously sized custom closets offering a ton of storage.
All three floors of this idyllic townhouse are filled with north and southern light and contain the perfect amount of space for a growing family. If the impeccably designed top three floors aren't enough, this home also has a fully finished basement creating a flex space currently used as a large TV room with polished concrete floors, washer/dryer, wine storage, and wine fridge as well as a ton of additional storage.
Within two blocks from the F/G trains at Carroll Street, steps from Carroll Park, and in the center of all the great shops and restaurants of Court, Smith Street, and the Gowanus, the location could not be better.
Your search is over for the perfectly renovated family home in the ideal location with incredible outdoor space. This home checks all the boxes and is ready to move right in!
