Listing Notes

Set behind a deep front garden on one of Carroll Gardens' most picturesque blocks, 298 Carroll Street is a four-story, single-family townhouse offering generous scale, exceptional outdoor space, and a thoughtful renovation that honors the building's historic character. In spring, a dogwood tree blooms just beyond the parlor windows, an unmistakable marker of the block's particular charm. The entry level opens into an open living and dining space, defined by tall ceilings, original marble mantels, and oversized windows drawing in soft northern and southern light. Restored mouldings, deep window casements, and a handsome original newel post speak to the craftsmanship of the building's past. Wide-plank hardwood floors and a restrained, contemporary palette run throughout. At the rear, the kitchen is anchored by a large central marble island and framed by three windows overlooking the garden. Custom millwork and integrated appliances offer a layout that is both functional and architectural. A small terrace just off the kitchen provides direct access to the outdoors, with stairs descending to the backyard below, approximately 48 feet deep, landscaped with decking, gravel, and mature plantings, and enclosed by horizontal cedar fencing. The garden level extends the home further, with a generous recreation room or den opening directly to the rear yard, plus a secondary bedroom and full bath well-suited as a guest suite or private quarters. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is positioned at the rear of the home and complemented by a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath finished in white square tile and Carrara marble. A second bedroom at the front of the floor is equally light-filled. All three bathrooms share a consistent, carefully executed design. A full basement provides laundry, mechanicals, and ample storage. Located in the heart of Carroll Gardens, 298 Carroll Street is moments from Smith Street, Court Street, and the neighborhood's beloved dining and retail destinations, as well as Carroll Park and convenient access to the F and G trains. Carroll Gardens remains one of Brooklyn's most sought-after addresses, and Carroll Street one of its finest blocks.
