788 CARROLL St

Step into this historic home with its magnificent original detail lovingly cared for and beautifully preserved. In the heart of Park Slope, this incomparable brownstone was designed in 1889 by renowned Brooklyn architect-builder John J. Magilligan. All renovations have been done with an eye towards preserving and enhancing the original design of this historic building. With its rare extra-large lot size of 21' x 122.83', this exquisite property has over 4,900 square feet of living space with a huge south-facing backyard and gorgeous landscaped garden with mature Japanese maple trees and many rare perennials.

Move-in ready, this legal two-family easily lends itself to being used as a two-family or a one-family home. This beautiful property is now set up as a triplex over a one-bedroom garden apartment. There are a total of six bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a powder room on the parlor floor, a glorious sunroom above the parlor and two outdoor decks. The chef's kitchen on the parlor floor has a stained-glass Ann Sacks mosaic backsplash and low maintenance natural quartz counters. It leads to the formal dining room, full of original stained glass and mahogany detail, and to a deck with stairs to the garden for al fresco dining. Of the five bedrooms on the two floors above the parlor floor, four of them can accommodate king-size beds. There are two marble bathrooms on each of these floors and the top floor also has a large laundry room and deck off the back bedroom. Other highlights include recently installed zoned central air conditioning, seven decorative fireplaces, a garden irrigation system, a full home water filtration system, a luxurious radiant heated kitchen floor, and a newly completed facade restoration.
