Elegant Parlor-Floor Home with Expansive Private Garden in the Heart of Carroll Gardens

Welcome to 78 2nd Place #2, an exquisite two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence set on the parlor floor of a beautifully renovated townhouse. Blending timeless Brooklyn charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, this exceptional home originally designed by Eckstrom NYC offers a rare combination of spacious indoor living and extraordinary private outdoor space — all in one of the most desirable locations in Carroll Gardens

From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by soaring 12-foot ceilings and a light-filled, open-plan living and dining area perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. A floor-to-ceiling rear wall of windows frames serene, southern-facing views of the deck and private garden, creating a bright space throughout the day and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The chef’s kitchen is both stylish and functional, with an oversized island boasting both room for seating and storage. Fisher & Paykel appliances — including a 36-inch built-in refrigerator, gas range, and fully integrated dishwasher, are complemented by a Bosch microwave drawer, XO range hood and Caesarstone “Airy Concrete” countertops. Custom ash cabinetry and Dinesen Douglas solid plank flooring elevate the space with Scandinavian-inspired warmth and craftsmanship.

The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, easily accommodating a king-size bed, with generous closet space and an en-suite bathroom finished with porcelain tile, double sinks and heated floors. A spacious second bedroom is perfect for guests, a nursery, or a home office. A second shared bathroom features a combination tub/shower.

Step outside to discover one of the home’s most exceptional features: 684 square feet of private garden space, complete with bluestone pavers, a beautiful flowering tree, and a dedicated area for planting. Thoughtfully designed for relaxation, gardening, and entertaining, this outdoor oasis is fully fenced for privacy and exclusively yours.

Additional highlights include an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer, Mitsubishi multi-zone central AC and heating system, dimmable, trimless recessed lighting, private storage, and part time porter. Pet friendly.

Located in the highly sought after "place" streets, with their bucolic tree-lined, deep front yards, in Carroll Gardens, this boutique condominium is moments from the best dining, shopping, and green spaces Brooklyn has to offer. Enjoy effortless access to the F & G trains down the block, making commuting and exploring the city a breeze.

With its generous proportions, elegant finishes, and a private garden sanctuary rarely found in city living, 78 2nd Place #2, offers a truly special place to call home.
