Rarely available - move-in ready four story townhouse in the exclusive Carroll Gardens Historic District. No. 356, a tall, handsome townhouse, perhaps the largest in the Landmarked District, dominates the head of President Street. This grand house is 22' wide, 4 stories and cellar, with an full-width extension on 3 floors. Greeting you from the street is a round-arched doorway with triangular pediment above, and its fine original paneled doors. The house retains its original, late Italianate cast iron handrailings, newel post at the stoop and its yard railing, which have all been professionally brought back to their original glory, along with the stoop. A bracketed and paneled roof cornice crowns the building, which was erected in 1869. The interior of the house was recently restored, preserving fantastic amounts of original detail including 8 fireplaces (5 with their ornate marble mantels and 1 working), plaster mouldings and ceiling medallion, decorative trim, and original wood floors. The backyard is completely redone, with the landscape designer adding vertical cedar fencing, new retaining walls, built in seating, and a bluestone patio. Currently configured as a 3 bedroom duplex + 2 high income rentals, the house is ready to move in. With the modern kitchen set in the ideal location - at the rear of the parlor floor - and a deck leading to the garden, it could also be used as a single family, or upper triplex with garden rental. Ideally located one block from the F train at Carroll and minutes from all the very best food and fun in both Carroll Gardens and Gowanus, this is a turn-key home and blue chip investment that completely delivers the incredible Brooklyn lifestyle you've been searching for.
