With a working woodshop in the basement, this garden level duplex in prime Carroll Gardens would be a perfect fit for an artist or designer. The one-and-a-half bedroom also boasts a deep front yard—characteristic of the neighborhood—private access to the back garden, and sweet details on the inside, including two fireplaces. After last selling in 2013 for $1.3 million, the residence at 86 2nd Place was recently listed for $1.495 million.

A foyer lined with closets leads you into the main level, comprised of a master bedroom, a small den, a renovated kitchen, a large living/dining room, and a second sitting area in front of the gas fireplace. Note the reclaimed wood bookshelf to the left of the fireplace—it was made by the current owner in the workshop downstairs.

Large sliding doors in the living room offer year-round views and easy access to the serene garden in the back. Though not pictured in its full glory here, it features a new deck and comes equipped with a grill and plenty of room for entertaining and relaxing alike.

The partially-open kitchen is fairly neutral with white cabinets, a subway tile backsplash, and new appliances.

In the front of the house, the bedroom has a charming decorative fireplace and two walk-in closets.

There’s a large, flexible space downstairs that could be converted by new owners into a larger home office, a playroom, gym, or additional bedroom, to name a few options. The wood workshop and a separate laundry room with a Maytag washer and dryer are also on this floor.

The four-unit townhouse co-op has undergone several upgrades over the past year, including a new roof, new boiler, and a revamp of the common spaces with fresh paint and new carpets.

Asking $3.2M, a rare pair of townhouses on Brooklyn’s quaint ‘secret’ block with tiny doors

By Michelle Cohen

New York City never runs out of surprises, and some of the best ones are hidden in plain sight. Dennett Place in Carroll Gardens is just such a hidden surprise. The fun-sized block near the Gowanus Canal is lined with equally diminutive townhouses, each with a miniature "hobbit door." Though the neighborhood has changed, the block still has the look of a quaint European alleyway and the charm of a tight-knit community–though no one seems to know what the half-pint doors are for. The homes here don't change hands often, but a pair of multi-family townhouses at 14 and 16 Dennett Place is on the market for the first time in 100 years, asking $3.2 million for both.
