This two-bedroom Carroll Gardens co-op looks like something you’d find on a Pinterest board. Cupcake and crown moldings, marble fireplaces, pocket doors, and a grand pier mirror from the 1800s have all been maintained in pristine condition. And when mixed with the more modern, yet equally dreamy, decor, the 1,100-square-foot home is completely breathtaking. Located at 86 2nd Place, it’s asking $1,695,000.

Upon entering the building’s parlor floor, you’re in the spacious living room. The center of the room is anchored by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on one side and a marble fireplace on the other. Facing the street is the gorgeous pier mirror, while carved columns flank the pocket doors. Throughout are 12-foot ceilings, elegant picture moldings, and floors relaid with Madera white ash chevron.

Through the pocket doors, the dining room/kitchen features another marble fireplace. The kitchen is set apart by its brick paver flooring. It also boasts modern floor-to-ceiling storage that includes a built-in wine rack, white marble countertops, a Bertazzoni oven, Subzero fridge, and Bosch dishwasher.

The two bedrooms are located through frosted glass doors off the dining room. They both have white-painted wood floors, insulated windows, and southern garden views.

The bathroom is back off the living room, located under the grand stairway of the building (hence the sloped ceiling). It has a Catchpole & Rye Soaking Tub, marble tiles, Restoration Hardware marble sink, large closet, and washer/dryer closet.

The self-managed co-op is just a block away from the F/G trains at Carroll Street.

Asking $3.2M, a rare pair of townhouses on Brooklyn’s quaint ‘secret’ block with tiny doors

By Michelle Cohen

New York City never runs out of surprises, and some of the best ones are hidden in plain sight. Dennett Place in Carroll Gardens is just such a hidden surprise. The fun-sized block near the Gowanus Canal is lined with equally diminutive townhouses, each with a miniature "hobbit door." Though the neighborhood has changed, the block still has the look of a quaint European alleyway and the charm of a tight-knit community–though no one seems to know what the half-pint doors are for. The homes here don't change hands often, but a pair of multi-family townhouses at 14 and 16 Dennett Place is on the market for the first time in 100 years, asking $3.2 million for both.
