Description

A 19th century house, this airy corner property in Carroll Gardens has three exposures and marvelous light from sunrise to sunset. A family-owned grocery and bakery from 1945 to 1976, converted over the years to a 3-unit residence, it has remained in the same family until this time. Set in a popular, tranquil and charming neighborhood with many recent single family and condo conversions, it is one block from bustling Court Street and 2 minutes from the artisanal ACQ Bakery at 543 Clinton. Located on the northeast corner of Clinton and Luquer, this 3-story house has two entrances, approximately 3180 sf of interior space, and south, east and west exposures. 20 x 70 on the first level and 20 x 45 on the upper two floors, there is a dry basement, the full lot length, with an 8' ceiling and separate outside entrance. The property is well-maintained with good mechanicals and is desirable as-is, as a 3-unit rental, or any number of owner-occupied configurations, including a huge main floor which could be duplexed with the enormous basement as live/workspace. For outdoor space, the current owners enjoy a large fenced front garden with huge awning. In the past the family had a fenced deck over the rear extension and many neighbors opt for roof decks. Historic Carroll Gardens offers great dining, shopping and schools, lovely Carroll Park and a marvelous year-round Sunday Greenmarket. Transportation options include the F/G train at Carroll Street, Manhattan in a matter of minutes via the Battery Tunnel and cyclists opt for the waterfront bike path to the Bridge.
