71 3rd Street in Carroll Gardens

IDEALIZED SPACE-AN IDEAL OPPORTUNITY!
A free-standing 1886 brick carriage home nestled on the cusp of established Carroll Gardens and anything-goes Gowanus. This compact package of renovated, fresh design, two years in the re-making, is the thoughtful creation of its owner/architect/designer.White painted hardwood flooring wraps the main level in a versatile homage to mid-century modernism, with the spotlight on a kitchen clad totally in stainless steel-from drawer cabinets to drawer refrigerators. Also included is a Bosch dishwasher and professional four-burner JennAir gas cooktop. Reflecting the whiteness of the flooring and walls is the geometric Heath tile backsplash and the Luce di Luna quartzite countertop of the stainless center island.

IDEALIZED SPACE-AN IDEAL OPPORTUNITY!
A free-standing 1886 brick carriage home nestled on the cusp of established Carroll Gardens and anything-goes Gowanus. This compact package of renovated, fresh design, two years in the re-making, is the thoughtful creation of its owner/architect/designer.White painted hardwood flooring wraps the main level in a versatile homage to mid-century modernism, with the spotlight on a kitchen clad totally in stainless steel-from drawer cabinets to drawer refrigerators. Also included is a Bosch dishwasher and professional four-burner JennAir gas cooktop. Reflecting the whiteness of the flooring and walls is the geometric Heath tile backsplash and the Luce di Luna quartzite countertop of the stainless center island. A counterpoint, meanwhile, comes in the form of black Heath tiles on the face of the working fireplace. On the second floor, the renovation continues with new dry wall in both bedrooms,new doors and door hardware, reworked closets, and modern ceiling fans. Vintage meets post-modern in the all-new bath: from the contemporary boulevard counter sink to the cast-iron soaking tub, transported from a nearby disbanded convent and revitalized with European rainshower head. Gunmetal Heath tiles, in a chevron pattern on the floor of the bath, meet the second floor's wide-plank yellow pine at the ladder junction to the roof terrace. The roof terrace spans the length and breadth of the building, with a platformed dais for dining up front and a cookout cove in the rear. Brooklyn and NYC skyviews beckon in every direction. Enjoy this remarkable escape as-is, or talk to the owner, a published architect, about her ideas for a future master suite and much more. The semi-finished lower level, housing mechanicals, storage closets, and a brand-new washer-dryer, can be a completed as a den, home office or work space with a half bath shower room -endless opportunities. Ultra-low taxes (less than $1,500 per year) and zero common charges make this a smart alternative to condo living. Truly one of a kind and ideally priced at $1,200.000. DWELL HERE.
