From the original listing · StreetEasyShowHide
Welcome to 29 Second Street! This beautifully renovated and meticulously maintained single-family townhouse offers a wonderful blend of modern design, thoughtful functionality, and an exceptional Carroll Gardens location.
The parlor floor features distinct living and dining areas, a spectacular chef's kitchen, and a discreetly tucked-away powder room. The focal point of the living room is a sleek wood-burning fireplace with a soapstone surround, built-in wood storage, and shelving above. Oversized south-facing windows bathe the room in afternoon light, while handsome 6-inch solid walnut plank flooring extends throughout the floor.
The kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, with a thoughtfully designed layout, exceptional finishes, and an impressive array of high-end appliances. These include a Gaggenau induction cooktop, 30-inch oven and separate steam oven, Thermador dishwasher, 30-inch Thermador refrigerator, and a separate 18-inch freezer column. Stone Source matte-finish quartz countertops, Vola fixtures, Franke sinks, a garbage disposal, and custom bamboo cabinetry complete the space. A wall of north-facing windows fills the kitchen with natural light, while sliding glass doors open directly to the beautifully landscaped backyard.
The garden level offers remarkable versatility, with every inch of space put to good use. A spacious family room spans the full width of the house, with a wall of windows and sliding glass doors leading to the garden. A fully tiled three-quarter bath is conveniently located just off the family room. The remainder of the level provides an abundance of practical storage, with room for bicycles, a small workshop, a dedicated storage room, and even a climate-controlled wine cellar equipped with a WhisperKool system.
The second floor is home to the serene primary suite, a second bedroom currently used as an office and den, and a generously sized laundry room. Overlooking the rear garden through oversized windows, the primary bedroom is bright, peaceful, and beautifully proportioned, with a walk-in closet and an elegant en-suite bath. The bathroom features Duravit and Hansgrohe fixtures, a limestone double vanity, a spacious walk-in shower with dual rain showerheads, a deep soaking tub, and a separate water closet.
On the top floor, two generously sized bedrooms each span the full width of the house, with three large windows and ample closet space. A full bathroom features a double vanity and oversized soaking tub, while an additional flexible space offers possibilities for a home office, reading nook, or play area. An enormous skylight overhead fills this level with natural light and illuminates the stairway below.
Throughout, you'll find premium Bieber triple-glazed, single-lite tilt-and-turn windows, designed to maximize natural light while providing exceptional soundproofing and thermal insulation. Additional features include five-zone radiant floor heating, five-zone ductless Mitsubishi mini-split air conditioning, custom window treatments, a hardwired Sonos audio system, Cat 6 wiring in every room, smart lighting, and a home security system. And for the eco-conscious, there is a solar thermal system on the roof which supplies the home with hot water.
The private backyard is a lovely extension of the living space, beautifully landscaped and framed by handsome Ipe fencing and decking. The comprehensive renovation also included all-new windows, updated electrical with 200-amp service, new plumbing, and a new water main from the street.
Perfectly situated on a quiet, tree-lined Carroll Gardens block, 29 Second Street is just half a block from Smith Street and a block and a half from Court Street, putting an incredible selection of neighborhood restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and everyday conveniences practically at your doorstep. Entrance to the F/G train is at the end of the block while Carroll Park is less than two blocks away.
