356 Sackett St Brooklyn, NY 11231

Brooklyn's past and present meet in this truly remarkable six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom Carroll Gardens townhouse, flanked by Court and Smith Streets. Here, architects were able to maintain the home's original details, including tin ceilings, marble fireplace surrounds and ornate moldings, which were artfully intertwined with sleek, contemporary updates in a recent gut renovation. It's no surprise that Domino and Refinery29 have featured the mint-condition, 22-foot-wide showplace. On the parlor level, glorious formal living spaces create an exceptional ambiance for entertaining. A welcoming foyer opens to a bright living room paved in wide-plank hardwood and topped by "wedding cake" ceilings that soar nearly 11 feet high. Stately pocket doors reveal a grand dining room under painted tin ceilings, and both rooms feature decorative fireplaces and stunning designer lighting. A magnificent open kitchen commands the rear of this level. With a full wall of south facing windows, light and views flow throughout, amplified by white lacquer cabinetry and swaths of cool marble. Chefs will love the premium stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner, fully-vented Wolf range, a drawer microwave, dishwasher and wine refrigerator. Just outside a small deck leads into the huge and lush garden that invites revelry and relaxation with large bluestone pavers, privacy fencing and professional landscaping. The parlor floor is finished with a powder room and coat closet for effortless entertaining. The garden-level living room, complete with handsome built-ins, a large wet bar/kitchenette and bright sunroom, accommodates casual gatherings beautifully and allows for ultimate flexibility in living and entertaining. The sunroom currently serves as a sunlit gym overlooking the garden. With the kitchenette right there, plus a guestroom and full bathroom, your guests will never want to leave. Or spend evenings on the huge couch watching a movie and munching on popcorn. Head to the third floor to take in the luxurious master suite featuring garden views and a spa bath where glass and marble tile surrounds a clawfoot soaking tub and frameless glass shower. A truly enviable walk-in closet leads to an adjoining bedroom that's ideal as a nursery, study or home office featuring an additional spacious bathroom with glass shower stall. Above, three more spacious bedrooms encircle a delightful playroom/den topped by skylights. There's another marble bathroom here, and the extra-large laundry room offers a stacked washer-dryer, storage and a utility sink. This home's finished basement level was excavated to provide full 8-foot-tall ceiling heights and features a massive storage closet and a huge flexible rec room space amenable to your specific needs. Recent updates to the building include the full repointing and restoration of the handsome brick and brownstone façade, a new wrought iron gate and a rebuilt lower vestibule. Three-zone air-conditioning, security, intercom and integrated speakers add convenience and safety to this impeccable Carrol Gardens residence. Perfectly positioned in the heart of BoCoCa, this home is at the epicenter of desirable Brownstone Brooklyn living and bordered by the great dining, nightlife and shopping of Smith and Court Streets. Neighborhood parks and the Carroll Gardens Greenmarket dot the nearby streets, and the Red Hook waterfront, Brooklyn Bridge Park and Prospect Park are all within easy reach. Access to transportation is excellent with F and G trains nearby, plus the A/C, R and Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6/Atlantic Avenue Ferry Terminal within one mile.
