Set on a picturesque, quiet tree-lined block in Carroll Gardens, this four-story home with cellar and air rights is introduced by a renovated front courtyard-creating an elegant and secure sense of arrival. An architect-led, top-to-bottom restoration returned the home to its original 1875 character while seamlessly integrating contemporary infrastructure. Original pine hardwood floors, window moldings, plasterwork, doors, and the central stair have been meticulously preserved, while discreet upgrades maintain generous ceiling heights and clean architectural lines throughout. Comfort and connectivity are thoughtfully integrated through custom wood double-hung windows, zoned climate control, smart environmental monitoring, and a fully integrated lighting and home technology system designed to enhance daily living without visual intrusion. The classic townhouse layout offers exceptional flexibility, with gracious front and rear rooms connected by a central deep zone that enhances privacy, flow, and functionality. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a walk-in pantry and powder room. Custom cabinetry is paired with stainless steel-fronted base cabinets beneath a striking 4' x 8' Caesarstone counter. Porcelain tile floors and Bisazza glass tile backsplashes frame the space, while a Bertazzoni five-burner gas range and two sinks anchors the room. A butler's serving pantry off the dining room on the parlor level adds a two-burner induction cooktop, Asko dishwasher, Sub-Zero drawer refrigerator/freezer, custom stainless steel counters with integral sink, and a Kohler Karbon articulating faucet. Lighting throughout the home is curated as architectural art, featuring designer fixtures, and Simpson custom exterior glass doors open to the front and rear of the home on the garden level. The French-inspired parterre landscaped garden designed by Susan Welti features bluestone paving, mature plantings, a custom stainless steel rose trellis, exterior lighting by Poulsen and Bega and a Solo Stove smokeless fire pit. The primary suite on the second floor includes a walk-in dressing room and a spa-like bathroom with Caesarstone on stainless steel legs, walk-in shower featuring Bisazza Metro tile, Grohe fixtures, a teak seat, and a remote-controlled Toto Washlet. The Penthouse floor offers a flexible, loft-like level with skylights, a dramatic blue pivoting wall, custom library shelving, and an ensuite bath. Air rights allow for future expansion potential. Featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Metropolitan Home, and Domino, 16 2nd Street is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored, design-forward townhouse moments from Carroll Park, destination dining, and the F and G trains.
