287 Hoyt Street

This charming Carroll Gardens corner townhouse is the perfect convergence of everything that you have been looking for; a renovated owner’s duplex with central AC, your very own indoor PARKING space, rental income or work-from-home space, low taxes, amazing light, and two private outdoor spaces. Situated on the picturesque corner of Sackett and Hoyt Streets, you are guaranteed a tree-lined view out of windows on three side, plus a spectacular vista of the Gothic cathedral across the street, lending a Parisian vibe to the experience. One block from Smith Street shops and amenities and Carroll Park, public and private schools in every direction, public transportation nearby at Carroll Street F/G station and Union St. R train, plus all of the exciting new Gowanus services including Whole Foods and a host of award-winning restaurants.

This is the most exciting junction in brownstone Brooklyn in terms of conveniences, but quiet and quaint when you walk out your door due to the fact that you are surrounded on all sides only by low-rise townhouses. Currently configured as a 2-unit property with a light-filled three-bedroom owner’s duplex on the parlor and top floors, and a lower rental duplex on the garden and basement levels that lives like a large 2-bedroom. This home can be used as a primary residence with a home office and guest suite downstairs, or collect rent to help pay your mortgage.

With some minor modifications you can easily transform this lovely home into a spacious single family. Renovated throughout just a few years ago with a modern rustic vibe, hardwood floors, a skylight, high ceilings, original historic details including whitewashed exposed brick and a hand-carved staircase, and most unique, windows on THREE sides! The two outdoor spaces are perfectly situated and include a terrace off the main kitchen for easy access to the kitchen, and a garden off the lower-level rental.

You can even access the private garage from the back of both units through stylish and oversized aged barn doors situated at the garden level for additional convenience and a bat-cave like private experience. And don’t miss the washers and dryers in both units! The owner’s duplex offers a spacious kitchen that includes white modern flat-front cabinetry including a large pantry, gray quartz countertops, handmade subway-tiled backsplash, stainless professional appliances, and a generous dining and prep island.

The parlor floor is awash in light and large enough to accommodate formal dining, a spacious living room, and a powder room for guests. Head upstairs where you will be greeted with three bedrooms all with tree-lined views, great closet space, and a windowed bathroom. The sunny and renovated full bath is a timeless classic offering a gray and white palette and tree-lined views.

The lower duplex also has central AC and has been renovated and opened up for a loft-like feel that includes a bedroom and full bath on the main floor, and an additional recreation room and half bathroom on the basement level, allowing this to live like a two bedroom. The possibilities for this duplex are endless, including the option to use it as a home office or comfortable guest suite. A comfortable and stylish kitchen includes a dining island with a large picture window perfectly framing the church across the street.

Multiple closets on every floor take advantage of every square inch of this jewel box. If you have been exploring condos in order to bring the convenience of parking into your life, then look no further. This wonderful home brings the joy of easy parking, expansive outdoor life, a perfect layout, with the added bonus of super low annual taxes and zero common charges.

And of course, the neighborhood is unrivaled with its plethora of award-winning restaurants, artisanal shops, multiple schools, lush greenspaces, low density, and its easy commutable distance to Manhattan, should you ever want to leave (which we are betting you won’t want to).
