This five-story, two-family Queen Anne townhouse sits perfectly on a gorgeous tree-lined block, just steps from Prospect Park. Currently configured as a sprawling owner's unit spanning the parlor through fifth floors above an income-producing garden-floor apartment, 872 Carroll Street offers exceptional flexibility for an end-user buyer or investor alike.
Upstairs, the owner's quadruplex begins with a stunning parlor floor featuring a large living room, formal dining room, and an open, sun-filled kitchen beneath a skylight, along with a walk-in closet for storage. The third floor offers a primary suite with dressing room alongside a second generous bedroom. The fourth floor adds two more bedrooms. One currently used as a home office plus a den, a walk-in closet, and its own laundry closet. The top floor completes the home with two additional light-filled bedrooms.
The garden floor apartment is a bright, self-contained one-bedroom with a large combined living/dining room, a walk-in closet, a dedicated laundry room, and direct access to the patio and garden. This is perfect for a rental unit, in-law suite, or extra space for your family.
Throughout the home, soaring ceiling heights, skylights over the stairwell, and the ideal co-mingling of majestic original architectural detail with contemporary design carry through from a comprehensive gut renovation completed in 2008.
Set on one of Park Slope's most picturesque tree-lined blocks, the home is just a few minutes' walk from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park. Grocery stores sit right at the corner of 7th Avenue and Carroll Street for everyday needs, with Union Market and the Park Slope Food Coop also close by. Commuting is easy with the 2/3 at Grand Army Plaza, the B/Q at 7th Avenue, and the F/G at 7th Avenue and 9th Street all within reach.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Crown molding, a fireplace and hardwood floors give 872 Carroll Street its character. It's a 4,774-square-foot house on one of Park Slope's tree-lined blocks. The owner's quadruplex runs from the parlor floor through the fifth floor, and a separate garden apartment sits below it, so the building gives you more than one way to use it.
The parlor floor has a large living room, a formal dining room and a kitchen beneath a skylight. The kitchen has a gas cooktop, a gas oven, a range hood and stainless steel appliances. A walk-in closet on this floor adds storage at the entertaining level.
The third floor holds the primary suite with a dressing room, along with a second bedroom. On the fourth floor you'll find two more bedrooms. One serves as an office with a den attached, and the floor has a walk-in closet and a laundry closet tucked in. The top floor has two more bedrooms. Top-floor rooms appeal to some buyers because nobody lives above them.
High ceilings give a room more volume and let you furnish it more flexibly, though height alone doesn't make a floor plan work. Skylights over the stairwell bring daylight into the house, which helps a home with this many floors.
The garden apartment is self-contained. Its living and dining areas share one large room, and it has a walk-in closet plus a laundry room of its own. You step straight out to the patio and garden from it. The owner's floors also have a patio with more than 60 square feet of private outdoor space, so there's room to sit outside without leaving the house.
Prospect Park is about 2 minutes away on foot, and the 2 and 3 at Grand Army Plaza are about 7 minutes away. Key Food and 7th Avenue Gourmet are each about 7 minutes away, and Union Market is about 8.
Does the house have in-unit laundry?
The owner's floors have a laundry closet on the fourth floor, and the garden apartment has a dedicated laundry room. The building also offers laundry among its amenities.
Is there private outdoor space?
Yes. There is private outdoor space of more than 60 square feet and a patio, and the garden apartment opens directly onto the patio and garden.
Does the house have central air?
Yes, the house has central air.
