About This Home
As of September 2025Focus on your future. This is a live-in and income generating opportunity on a quiet residential block in the most desirable and charming Carroll Gardens.142 Nelson Street is a handsome 3 unit brick townhouse currently configured as a lower "owners" duplex and two 1-bedroom floor through rentals above. The lower duplex was recently thoughtfully renovated keeping some of the original details and adding modern updates with style and high end fixtures. To enter the building and the 1st floor there are only 3 steps up. In the spacious 24" long living room features original wide plank floors, plaster moldings, high ceilings and tall windows. The luminous, stylish kitchen has custom cabinetry, plenty of storage and ample counter space to cook, entertain and hang out. There is walk in closet, a full bathroom and a back door with stairs descending to the lovely deep south facing back yard.
Down the striking stairs, there is the very large serene bedroom spans the width of the building. It has a walk-in closet, and a door direct access to your private oasis, the back patio and lush garden. The middle room is currently used as an office and is just perfect, whether used as an office, library, home gym, or extra living space. Another full bathroom, and a laundry / storage room are in the front. The polished concrete floors and exposed brick are very appealing.
Both of the apartments upstairs are one and half bedrooms, one bathroom. Both apartments have high ceilings and abundant natural light. The top floor apartment was renovated and quite charming. The middle apartment does need some updating. The layout is good with high ceilings and oodles of natural light, but the kitchen and bathroom are dated.
Focus on your future. This is a live-in and income generating opportunity on a quiet residential block in the most desirable and charming Carroll Gardens, right around the corner from Court Street with some of the finest restaurants, cafes, shops and the best pizza in Brooklyn. Aside from being just minutes to the city by train, there is easy car access for travel in and out of Brooklyn.
142 Nelson Street is currently fully occupied, and will be delivered vacant. All showings are scheduled by appointment...
