90 Carroll Street

Description

Corner, classic red brick townhouse. Three exposures, Italianate in style, massive in stature. This c1899 legal three-family residence predates a certificate of occupancy and is an open canvas that is all potential. At nearly 22ft wide, 35ft deep, on a 100ft lot, the property enjoys both a gated front and a rear south-facing garden. Spanning four stories plus a cellar, 90 Carroll is rich in history with a luxurious future. The classic raised ten-step front brownstone stoop and tall slim windows hint at the incredible ceiling heights within. The double-hung doors create a grand entry at the parlor floor, and the intact elaborate crown moldings and the interior glass transom with sidelights are all gloriously intact. The current caretakers can trace their ownership back nearly a century and have long used the lower levels as an owner duplex, with two separate units above. An additional 10 rooms span the top two floors, with some holding the original tin ceilings, and the choices are endless. In the early 20th Century, the garden level hosted resident clubrooms, a lively space for social gatherings and formal entertaining. The residence then became the corner house on Hicks Street in the mid-1940s. Carroll Gardens adjacent (accessed quickly by the Summit St Bridge) and perched within The Columbia Street Waterfront District, the location will not be secret for long. Much loved for trendy eateries, spectacular sunsets, and quiet waterfront feel. With enviable direct access to Brooklyn Bridge Park and to The Brooklyn Heights Promenade, this is the perfect location to call your future home. Pro tip: Line up early; neighborhood fave Lucali does not take reservations!
