Let the light in: an oasis of splendor awaits your arrival in this 20' wide Carroll Gardens townhouse. Enter the expansive living room complete with a wood-burning fireplace, and behold the natural light flowing from the window-filled walls and light hardwood floors. The open layout features high ceilings and seemingly unlimited wall space, the perfect palette to create an art and photography gallery.

Entertaining friends and family will be a breeze no matter the season with the spacious dining room and an open kitchen that features stainless steel appliances. Dine in, or indulge yourself with a meal al fresco on your private balcony deck with direct access to the garden below. Your green thumb will be delighted with the wealth of space to accommodate flower beds, an organic vegetable and herb garden as well as areas for meditative repose. A half bath compliments the parlor level.

The upper floor of your duplex features a master bedroom that runs the full width of the townhouse providing massive amounts of air and light from its wall of windows. The room also features wall-to-wall closets. The back bedroom can accommodate a queen size set. A large sitting room or office space separates the bedrooms and its skylight provides an additional source of sunlight to the interior creating a private retreat. There is also a full bath featuring terracotta tiles and a linen closet.

The duplex is resplendent with natural light and includes a finished basement with a laundry room and multiple recreational rooms (with street-level entrance). Mini split systems cool in the summer and for those chillier winter days, look forward to a cozy warm up in front of the fireplace. The added bonus of solar panels on the roof make this home eco-friendly and sustainable, saving you money and energy. The garden-level rental unit offers backyard access, an open-concept living room and kitchen, one bedroom with walk-in closet, and one bath.

Centrally located in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Brooklyn, your new home is nestled on a quiet tree-lined street within a 3-minute walking distance of Smith Street's shopping and restaurant district home to popular eateries Ugly Baby, Pig Beach, Lucali and Avlee. The F/G subway at Carroll Street is a quick 4 stops to lower Manhattan.

The aspiring chef and food enthusiasts will be thrilled with the abundance of grocery options - Whole Foods, Union Market, Trader Joe's as well as neighborhood mainstays Stinky Brooklyn and Paisano's Italian grocer which harks back to the neighborhood's Italian roots. And there's always room for ice cream with artisanal favorites at Malai or Ample Hills Creamery, or the tried and true lemon ice at Court Pastry Shop.

With a spring in your step, there are lots of activities nearby, from archery to fencing to tennis and shuffleboard or an evening of competitive board gaming. Rainy days call for movie night at the Cobble Hill Cinemas or cocktails at local watering holes Clover Club, Brooklyn Social and Barely Disfigured.
