Property Description
Welcome to 853 Carroll Street! This gorgeous Romanesque Revival mansion on one of the most desirable blocks in Park Slope was designed by the legendary CPH Gilbert and built by well-known developer Harvey Murdock. Ideally located in Brooklyn's "Gold Coast", 853 Carroll is a sterling example of the luxury constructed in 1880's Park Slope. Well maintained over the years, the current owner has invested a lot in upgrading the systems while keeping the original details. Residence No. 1, the Parlor duplex, has soaring ceilings, and period details abound. The first design element to greet you is a massive Silver-backed Mirror, an original detail that is beautiful and reflects natural light throughout the house. Grand oak molding frames the large bay windows overlooking the tree-lined street. A carved Ionic Column portal with hand-assembled beaded fretwork leads to the rear parlor. Each of the four rooms has the original white parquet flooring, but all have different inlaid borders, all well maintained like new. Leading into the kitchen are 8-foot Mahogany pocket doors with acid-etched glass and a dormer of stained glass with an image of a Bloodroot flower (a native species of Brooklyn) sitting atop. Looking closely at all the millwork you'll find many native Northeastern flowers throughout - a movement at the time to bring nature inside. The eat-in kitchen itself is enormous. The hardwood shaker-style cabinets match well with the original details while the stainless steel appliances provide any home chef with an ideal kitchen. Access to the private gardens is off the kitchen. As you enter into the backyard, you will descend to the stone patio surrounded by mature trees. You'll love relaxing and entertaining in this peaceful green space. Off the kitchen is a primary bedroom unlike any other on the market. The high-coved ceilings with the original floral plaster filigree are a hallmark of Gilbert's work and are on display. A large bay window naturally illuminates the room. Raised paneling, a vintage wooden mantel with three arched silver-backed mirrors, and hardwood floors are further evidence of the thought put into the design. There's a full en suite bath and walk-in closet to complete this primary bedroom. The lower level of the home has two secondary bedrooms and a full bathroom. There is additional access to the backyard from one of the secondary bedrooms. A laundry room is located on this level of the home. As mentioned, your new home's location is idyllic. Visible from your front door is Prospect Park. Enjoy the Grand Army Plaza farmer's market and a quick walk to the Botanic Gardens and Brooklyn Museum. World-class dining is around the corner with notable favorites including Fausto, Masalawala & Sons, Runner Up, Miriam, Sushi Katsuei, and Haenyeo. You have it all within a six-block radius of your home. Close to both express and local subway lines, you're sure to find easy access to any location in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Welcome home!
