For rent by owners: duplex penthouse unit, ~2,000 square foot 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom + loft / home office with in-unit elevator, private roof deck (500+ square foot roof deck with 360-degree views of the city) and private garage parking. Please inquire for viewings in September.
50 1st Place is an impressive 26 ft. wide 1890's brownstone recently renovated into five luxury units. The building is situated on the corner of one of the most desirable "place blocks" in Carroll Gardens (southeast corner of Clinton and 1st Place) and has three exposures with great natural light and a lovely front yard. Unit 5 spans the top two floors of the building, complete with a private roof deck and private garage attached to the building. Park your car inside the garage to avoid fighting for street parking or use the space as a home gym (currently decked out with a cage / squat rack, bench, TRX rig and rack of weights and kettlebells).
Keyed elevator access takes you to each level of the unit. The first floor opens to westward views of the Statue of Liberty and the open concept living room and kitchen boast unencumbered views of the Empire State Building. The kitchen layout was designed for the art of cooking and entertaining, with an extra-long waterfall Carrera marble island that seats four, Subzero fridge, Miele dishwasher, integrated wine fridge and Wolf range. The adjacent walk-in pantry provides extensive storage capacity and easy access from the kitchen. Just beyond the kitchen is the living room with 14-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace in matching Carrera marble, a custom built in-bar, and a built-in banquet and custom live-edge dining table that easily seats six.
Along the back of the first floor are the two bedrooms. The large master bedroom has wall to wall closets and ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, large walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. The second bedroom is flanked by a sizeable full bath with a shower / tub combo, with stacked washer / dryer tucked just around the corner off the hallway. Zoned central AC / heating and ceiling fans in both bedrooms and the living room provide added flexibility and comfort throughout the home.
Up the stairs, and also accessible via elevator, is the second floor where the open loft space can serve multiple purposes to fit your needs: home office, playroom, etc. The space is currently configured as a wellness space (complete with two-person medical infrared sauna and skylight-lit spin bike and yoga area) and home office space flooded with natural light throughout the day thanks to a western facing window with views of the city skyline. From the second floor is direct access to the huge private roof deck with panoramic views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines. A built-in pergola allows sun / shade optionality and the L-shape outdoor sofa and dining table provide additional space for unwinding or entertaining guests.
Located on the corner of Clinton St. and 1st Place, 50 1st place is a six-minute walk from the F and G trains and is surrounded by an amazing neighborhood of restaurants (Lucali, Frankie's 457, Bar Bete to name a few), bars and shops. Beautiful Carroll Park and P.S.58 are around the corner, and Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade are within strolling distance.
Available mid- October onwards. No pets. Happy to discuss furnished / partially furnished / unfurnished options. Please email for inquiries or to schedule a viewing in September.
