DESCRIPTION

Welcome to 849 carroll street, apt 2: the gracious, fully renovated, pre-war, park block, three bedroom, two bath home in the heart of park slope you have been dreaming of! located steps from prospect park on one of park slope's prettiest tree lined blocks, this stately brownstone gives a sense of elevated living from the moment you arrive at it's doorstep.  Up one flight of stairs, a proper entry foyer with two coat closets offers a place to drop your things, and greet your guests, before entering the spacious great room to the left.  

with soaring 11ft high ceilings, this open concept living space encompasses the full 21ft width of the building, with three oversized windows across the back offering excellent light while keeping the heart of the home private from the street.  At the opposite end of the room, built-in, glass fronted cabinets frame the entry foyer, and provide a wonderful place to display your most loved treasures, be they books, records or objects of art.  In the center of the room an elegant decorative fireplace and mirror acts as a natural focal point, while original moldings and a gorgeous chandelier further elevate the space.  Restful wide plank, white oak hardwoods are found throughout the home, and were added in 2021 as a part of a full renovation of the space that also included a new kitchen, a new hall bathroom, and new lighting throughout the home.  

the adjacent chef's kitchen is the star of the 2021 renovation and features handsome custom cabinets, matching quartz countertops and backsplash, and modern brushed gold handles and faucet.  A full suite of high end appliances include a bertazzoni range, a sub zero refrigerator and bosch dishwasher.  There is ample cabinet space throughout, including storage in the oversized island, which also offers plenty of counter space for even the most serious cooks to prep.  Tucked discreetly in once of the cabinets is the asko washer and dryer, a perfect supplement to those in the basement.  Off the kitchen, a small balcony provides the perfect spot for a grill, further expanding your culinary options.  

beyond the kitchen is the hall leading to the primary bedroom suite (currently being used as a child's bedroom), nestled quietly in the back of the home.  The bedroom is well sized, and offers two exposures from three windows, two of which overlook the back gardens.  There is also a windowed en suite bathroom with a stall shower, heated towel rack, built in medicine cabinet, and storage alcoves.  At the front of the home lie the two additional bedrooms, the first of which is simply massive, featuring an incredible floor to ceiling bay window, which washes the space with lovely southern light.  This room is currently being used as the primary, but would also make an exceptional formal living room, flex den/home office/guest room, or a large shared kids bedroom with plenty of space to play.  The third bedroom is best suited for a twin due to it's width, but also offers plenty of space for a desk and/or dresser, due to it's 17ft length.  A renovated hall bath features a tub shower combo with glass door, attractive brushed gold medicine cabinet, lighting and plumbing fixtures and restful tiles.  

849 carroll is a very well managed, pet friendly, 5 unit brownstone, with common laundry in the basement and open basement storage for each unit.  The building has been very well maintained, with a new roof, boiler, gas lines, and laundry room completed in 2023, and a new video intercom system added in 2024.  There is also a porter that takes out garbage and does light custodial work in the common areas.  

849 carroll is truly in the heart of park slope, with prospect park a few buildings away, and the famed saturday farmer's market at grand army plaza just two blocks away! the 2/3 train is also just 5 short blocks, making the manhattan and the rest of brooklyn super accessible, and neighborhood favorites and conveniences abound! zoned for ps 321.
