This behemoth brownstone sits on one of the most coveted blocks in Carroll Gardens at 116 2nd Place. Built in the third quarter of the 19th century and occupied by wealthy merchants, it’s unusually wide at 25 feet and has the deep front and rear gardens for which this block is known.

The exterior features the deep hooded doorway so typical of classic brownstones. Inside, there are high ceilings, pier mirrors, original wide plank floors and a gracefully curving staircase.

Four stories high with a total of 5,250 square feet, it is currently set up as a four-family with four floor-through apartments.

Each apartment is recently renovated. The roof and gas boiler are new, and the plumbing and electric have been updated.

It would make a formidable single-family residence; other possibilities include a home with great rental income or an investment property.

It’s close to popular neighborhood gathering spot Carroll Park and numerous shops and restaurants, including Prime Meats, Smith Canteen, and old-school butcher shop and deli Esposito & Sons Pork Store, known for its house-made salami. The F and G trains at the Carroll Street stop are less than two blocks away.

Dennis Cetinkaya of Douglas Elliman has the listing, which is asking $4.85 million. Check out more photos below.
