Description

Once you go passive, you never go back.

An exceptional living experience awaits you in coveted Carroll Gardens, where a 125+-year-old brownstone has been transformed into a new single-family masterpiece. Impeccably designed by award-winning Ingui Architecture and meticulously renovated by BZJ Construction, this exquisite Brooklyn townhouse seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern luxury. Heightening the uniqueness is its thoughtful sustainability, and adherence to strict energy efficiency standards affording a Passive Home Certification.

Attention to detail is evident from the moment you approach. The beautifully restored fa ade and stoop are embellished by handsome architectural elements, custom ironwork, and a classic cornice exuding curb appeal. Entering the stunning parlor floor, the open, airy ambience impresses and is perfect for entertaining. A generous living/dining room enriched by gorgeous oak herringbone floors and a marble fireplace connects through an open archway to a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen. Culinary quarters are gourmet-worthy, featuring premium custom wood cabinetry, sleek marbles named Crazy Horse and Viaveneto, top-of-the-line appliances Miele, Wolf and Sub-Zero, and two wine refrigerators for favorite vintages. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors invite in abundant light and open to a Juliet balcony offering an outside-in view of lush greenery. Nearby is a convenient coat closet, and chic guest powder room adorned with a black Belvedere Leather Quartzite counter. A spiral staircase off the kitchen brightened by a double-height window descends to the great room, and alfresco dining in the rear yard.

A magnificent custom mahogany staircase weaves through every story of the house, rising next to the full-floor primary suite. The fabulous king-size bedroom presents its own large terrace overlooking the garden, accessed by oversized sliding glass doors. This retreat has a huge walk-through closet with room for many wardrobes, and an indulgent five-fixture spa bath with dual sinks, marble flooring, and a private loo. Refresh in the Rosa Aurora Macchia Vecchia marble shower, or soak in the deep tub beneath sun-filled southern windows. A smaller bedroom sharing this floor is ideal as a nursery or office.

On the top level, a skylight illuminates rays down to the lowest floor of the home. Both bedrooms are graciously proportioned, one of which has an en-suite bath styled with sage and aquamarine tiles. The second bathroom with a lovely view shines in white and shimmering water's edge-colored glass tile. A laundry room with a sink and washer-dryer provides ample storage.

The garden level, excavated for added height, is a haven for lounging and hosting. From the warm, inviting great room, sliding glass doors open to the pristine patio-garden for outdoor gatherings or private enjoyment. Here you'll also find a fifth bedroom, and an upscale marble bathroom. Endless options exist for the floor below, which has high ceilings, great light, and lots of potential to serve as a recreation room, gym, music studio, meditation room, and/or kids' playroom!

Topping the allure are triple-pane windows, constant clean air filtration, and central heating/cooling which you may rarely need thanks to the Passive Home seal. Indoor temps will be comfortable all year round, with winter drafts kept out and cool air kept in in summer. Utility bills will be extremely low; plus street noise will be minimized for the ultimate peace and quiet. Schedule a viewing today to see this spectacular renovation and discover the unparalleled benefits of a Passive Home!
