What This Townhouse Offers
Set back behind a lush, 33-foot-deep landscaped front garden, 79 2nd Place is a three-bedroom triplex residence, occupying the parlor, garden, and cellar floors... of a classic brownstone on one of the most prestigious and desirable blocks in Carroll Gardens—a street known for its mature trees, front gardens, and quiet residential character. The result is a rare offering that delivers house-like scale, privacy, and an elevated standard of comfort in the heart of brownstone Brooklyn.
Spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, the home has recently undergone a high-end renovation that preserves its turn-of-the-century grandeur. Original tin ceilings, crown moldings, and generous proportions remain intact, paired with wide-plank Siberian white oak flooring and refined modern finishes throughout.
The parlor floor is designed for both entertaining and daily living, with gracious living and dining rooms framed by soaring ceilings and restored architectural detail. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, anchoring the space with warmth and presence. At the rear, the chef’s kitchen is outfitted with custom white oak cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and a professional-grade GE appliance suite plus a Bosch dishwasher, anchored by a central island and complemented by a decorative fireplace that nods to the home’s historic character. The kitchen opens to a deck leading to an expansive private bluestone patio and garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A discreet powder room completes this level.
The garden level is dedicated to private living. The primary suite is serene and substantial, offering a dressing area with dual walk-in closets and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a double shower, Waterworks fixtures, Italian porcelain tile, and a separate private WC room. Two additional bedrooms are well proportioned and enjoy direct access to the backyard. Storage is ample and thoughtfully integrated throughout.
The cellar level features a large recreation area—a flexible space suited for media, work, fitness, or play—a dedicated laundry with washer and dryer, and an additional storage room.
Modern systems include multi-zone ducted Mitsubishi climate control and premium soundproofing throughout the residence.
Located moments from the F and G subway lines and the everyday buzz of Smith and Court Streets, 79 2nd Place offers refined townhouse living with scale, privacy, and modern performance—set on a quintessential Carroll Gardens brownstone block. Just outside your door: beloved neighborhood staples like Lucali, Frankies 457, Café Spaghetti, and Court Street Grocers, plus local favorites for coffee, wine, and specialty shopping that have anchored the community for generations. It’s classic Brooklyn living—elevated, effortless, and deeply rooted.
