Welcome to 188 Degraw Street, Unit 3, a light-filled, pet friendly home at the crossroads of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill.

The newly renovated chef’s kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a generous center island, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and a dedicated wine fridge. Host a crowd around the island or settle in for a cozy dinner beside the wood-burning fireplace, which brings warmth and character to the living space.
Oversized windows and sliding glass doors fill the home with an abundance of natural light, beautifully complementing the rich hardwood floors and creating a bright, airy atmosphere throughout. Step onto your private front terrace for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or an evening breeze above the treetops, all while enjoying peaceful views overlooking the charming, tree-lined Cheever Place.
The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with an updated, spa-inspired en-suite bath. A well-proportioned second bedroom features a custom closet, providing flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The tastefully renovated hallway bathroom features a deep soaking tub, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. An in-unit washer and dryer and dedicated attic storage add everyday convenience, rounding out this thoughtfully updated Brooklyn home.
Just beyond your door, discover the charming boutiques, neighborhood favorites, and vibrant dining scene that make Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill two of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods. With tree-lined streets and an abundance of local shops, cafés, and restaurants just moments away, 188 Degraw Street offers the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and city convenience.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A newly renovated kitchen with a center island, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, a gas cooktop and gas oven, and a wine cooler is where much of the daily routine here will happen. The island gives you room to prep, serve or simply sit with a drink while someone else cooks.
The wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space. Oversized windows and sliding glass doors bring in a good deal of daylight across the hardwood floors, and granite counters and a chandelier round out the finishes the listing describes.
The front terrace is under 60 square feet, so I'd think of it as a spot for morning coffee or a casual meal rather than a full dinner party. It still gives you a private step outside, and the listing describes views over the tree-lined Cheever Place.
The primary suite has an updated en-suite bath. The second bedroom has a custom closet and works for a guest room, a home office or extra living space. The hallway bath has a deep soaking tub, which is a useful thing to have in a two-bath home.
Storage is covered in two places.
An in-unit washer and dryer and dedicated attic storage mean fewer errands to handle outside the apartment. For a home with two bedrooms, that kind of storage can make a real difference in how much you keep on the floor.
Carroll Street station, served by the F and G, is about 10 minutes on foot, and Carroll Park is about 8 minutes away. Key Food is about a minute from the door, and Sal Tang's is about a minute away as well.

Yes. The apartment has an in-unit washer and dryer.
Is there private outdoor space?
Yes. The apartment has a front terrace under 60 square feet, and the listing also lists a balcony.

Yes. The apartment has dedicated attic storage, and the second bedroom has a custom closet.
