About This Home

As of February 2025

Nestled in a row of Carroll Garden's finest townhouses on a picturesque, tree-lined block, 53 2nd Place presents a rare opportunity for its next owner.

This three-story, Two-Family Brownstone can be used in its current configuration to retain rental income from the top floor apartment or is easily used as a One Family with minimal reconfiguration. And it comes with the huge bonus of a finished basement with full bathroom and two skylights bringing in natural light. Divided into two areas It lends itself to be used as a TV room and work space, or work-out room or anything else you need. There are multiple closets to help with all your storage requirements and a convenient washer/dryer set up. Direct access to the front garden is available via an operable skylight.

The house is configured with a large living/ dining room, huge kitchen and bathroom on the garden floor and 3 spacious bedrooms and another bathroom on the parlor level. Light streams in to the front of the house throughout the day.

On the top floor is the current rental unit which boasts a spacious living room with dining alcove, a windowed kitchen overlooking the garden, a large bedroom and a den room that can function as a flex second bedroom or home office,

Measuring 19 feet wide, 53 2nd Place offers generous proportions and flexible layouts for a variety of living arrangements.

The back yard area is peaceful and has open sky views and an open vista of the block's gardens giving a sense of space and air. The front garden has a beautiful, mature Japanese maple tree that provides a wonderful view from the front windows.

Located less than two blocks from the Carroll Street subway and Smith Street's abundance of restaurants and one block from Court Street's retail there is not a better spot from which to explore and enjoy the delights of one of Brooklyn's most iconic neighborhoods.

A must see for the opportunity to live in an owner's triplex with rental unit or effortlessly expand into a home of your own.
