This Italianate brownstone has all the original details one could want, along with beautifully renovated kitchens and baths. Located at 319 President Street, it also has one of the coveted deep front gardens for which Carroll Gardens is known.
This four-story house was built in 1870 and sits within the Carroll Gardens Historic District. The exterior is extraordinarily well preserved, with a typical Italianate bracketed cornice and a pedimented door hood over the original double doors. Window boxes, long parlor-floor windows, foliate details surrounding the door and windows, and a bluestone walkway leading to the house look just about picture perfect.
Inside, original details include tin ceilings, moldings, shutters, pocket doors with etched glass, and six mantels with three working fireplaces. The mantels are especially fine, with carved details in white marble.
Configured as an owner’s triplex over a garden-floor rental, the house has seven bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over more than 3,600 square feet.
In the parlor-floor entry is a mirrored built-in with a bench and storage and the original staircase and newel post. There are two sets of built-in bookcases, one with with a seat, in the front parlor.
Beyond the pocket doors, the rear parlor houses the kitchen and space for dining, with more original details, built-ins, and a backsplash made of imported Moroccan ceramic tile.
The bedroom floor above can be used as an enormous master suite with a home office and two walk-in closets. Alternatively, it can also work as two generously proportioned bedrooms, one with an attached nursery or office, that share a cedar-lined walk-in closet.
The bath has access through the hall or a bedroom. The modern baths throughout the house have deep soaking tubs and a mix of mosaic and marble tile.
The top floor is similarly configured, with lots of closet space and high ceilings.
The garden level is a one-bed, one-bath unit. The cellar level is finished and has a vented laundry room and storage room.
The fully gut-renovated house has a fresh air return system on every floor.
The grassy backyard has space for growing vegetables and a patio with room for a table and chairs.
The home is half a block from Carroll Park and the F and G subway lines at the Carroll Street stop. It is close to many restaurants and bars on Smith and Court streets.
