Indulge in the allure of 842 Carroll Street, a residence that transcends the ordinary and beckons those with a penchant for luxury. As you enter this architectural masterpiece by Charles Pierrepont Henry Gilbert, you're welcomed into a world of brilliant artistry, designed by one of the giants of the Gilded Age. Nestled beside the prestigious Prospect Park in Park Slope, one of Brooklyn's most upscale enclaves, this Roman Stone and granite townhouse stands as the epitome of grandeur. This property features 18 rooms, including 12 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, with dimensions that exceed expectations: approximately 33 feet wide, a staggering 7,700 square feet of interior space spanning a 75-foot lot, complemented by an additional 1,275 square feet of outdoor space. This residence is unmatched in its magnificence. The garden floor unveils a renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest apartment adorned with a fireplace and triple sliding doors leading to a spacious two-tiered private backyard. Upon entering the parlor floor, you are greeted by a 15' by 24’ gallery entrance, featuring a massive mahogany fireplace, a grand staircase, and a hidden powder room. The living room and dining room have over eleven-foot ceilings and are flooded with natural light from a glorious south-facing bay window and oversized windows to the north and south. Original wood-burning fireplaces in each room become the centerpiece, with oak wood-paneled walls and Brazilian mahogany herringbone floors in the living room adding to the grandeur. The modern kitchen has a beautiful south seating area surrounded by windows inviting views of townhomes, trees, and the garden below. The clouds extend into the room with a captivating ceiling painting by renowned artist Richard Cortez, setting the stage for a home that is not just lived in but experienced. Ascend to the third floor, where four bedrooms, three fireplaces, and two bathrooms display the richness of mahogany, cherry, and oak materials used throughout the home. A Brazilian hardwood and copper-clad exterior deck faces south from your primary bedroom suite, with a windowed dressing room and an enormous primary bathroom. The fourth floor continues the narrative of luxury with sun-filled rooms, laundry facilities, and two fireplaces. There are multiple bedroom options, and flexibility for multi-functional spaces whether it’s an executive office with an en suite bathroom, playroom, gym, library, or sunroom. The fifth floor crowns this architectural marvel with a separate two-bedroom loft apartment. It boasts original beams, a 12-foot ceiling height, a fireplace, a full kitchen, a large balcony, and a skylight, offering a sanctuary, artist's loft, or staff residence that goes beyond the ordinary. Impeccably crafted structural steel and stunning copper cladding attest to the highest quality of construction. Central air conditioning, a recent silver-coated roof, and a boiler less than a decade old help ensure comfort and longevity. This property is more than a residence; it's a testament to your discerning taste, and every detail echoes unmatched luxury. Introducing 842 Carroll Street - a fusion of artistry and lifestyle, where opulence knows no bounds.
