21 1st St Brooklyn, NY 11231

Situated on a quiet, quintessential Carroll Gardens block, 21 1st Street presents the rare opportunity to live in an exquisitely gut-renovated, 3-story (plus basement) single-family townhouse in perfect move-in condition. Here, meticulous and refined attention to detail is evident in every room.

Re-envisioned in 2016, this light-flooded 1910 Federal style townhouse features a large primary bedroom with private terrace overlooking the garden and marble mantle wood-burning fireplace, two generously sized secondary bedrooms, a large, bright parlor floor office/sitting room (previously a 4th bedroom), 2.5 bathrooms, and a dry unfinished basement with washer/dryer and copious storage which offers a blank canvas to create a bonus space to suit your needs.

Lovingly restored original details throughout, including soaring beamed ceilings, ceiling medallions, refinished staircases and wide-plank floors that have been stripped and refinished in a light Scandinavian-inspired hue, are seamlessly integrated to create a bespoke contemporary aesthetic.

In the garden level living room, a wall of custom-fabricated windows and a large overhead skylight fills the room with brilliant light; enjoy views and seamless access to your beautiful garden and yard through the wall of steel-framed glass. The custom-designed chef's kitchen is bright and white, with reclaimed wood shelving, a subway-tiled backsplash, a Carrera marble waterfall island, custom cabinetry and Wolf and Bosch appliances. The nearby dining room has a Lambert & Fils fixture, while the Powder Room features exposed brick walls painted in Farrow & Ball Peignor and a Geberit wall-hung toilet.

On the Parlor level, a Michael Anastassiades for Flos pendant light hangs from an original ceiling medallion, welcoming you into the open, bright office/sitting room (previously a fourth bedroom). The primary bedroom features a Serge Mouille-inspired light fixture and white brick and marble fireplace, as well as a private terrace with a view of surrounding historic Carroll Gardens. The ensuite bath is large and thoughtfully designed, with a Duravit trough sink and walnut vanity, oversized glass-enclosed shower, Kohler Purist brass fixtures, subway tiles in a custom herringbone pattern and radiant heat flooring. On the top floor are the oversized, bright second and third bedrooms, both with soaring, original wood-beamed ceilings, custom LED lighting, Modern Fan Company ceiling fans and custom closets, as well as a full bathroom with skylight and Jacuzzi tub.

On a quiet block known for its warmth and charm, perfectly situated just a few blocks from Whole Foods, the Carroll Street F/G train, Carroll Park, the restaurants and markets of Court, Smith Street and the Gowanus, the location could not be better.
