Carroll Garden's new blue-stone-clad condominium, 345 Carroll Street is drawing closer to completion with only two units remaining on the market. Fred Wilpon's Sterling Equities picked up the property located between between Hoyt and Bond streets in 2013 for $12.5 million, and demolished the Regency Cart building shortly thereafter. Architecture firm Gluck+ has been tapped for the design which provides for a four-and-a-half story, 32-unit infill condo building sheathed in an opulent facing of bluestone. The cool texture and the insertion of large bay windows brings modern elegance to the block while still harmonizing with its red-brick and brownstone neighbors. The Daily News reported that the selection of bluestone is “a nod to the sidewalk granite that puts the spring in the steps of brownstone Brooklynites.”
A live feed on the building's official website shows that the facade is nearing completion. The setback fifth and final floors hosting the building's eight penthouse have yet to receive their metallic skins. The roof will eventually feature common and private terraces with gracious views over cozy Brooklyn.
All but two of 345 Carroll’s 32 homes are now in contract. What remains is #3F, a 2-bed / 2-bath, 1,253 square-foot apartment asking for $1.685 million and PHA, a 4-bed / 4-bath, 2,326 square-foot home for $3,805,000. Closings have yet to begin but the asking prices for the in contract one-bedroom units started at $1,500,000; the seven 2-bedrooms started from $1,645,000; thirteen 3-bedrooms from $2,050,000; and six 4-bedrooms from $2,980,000.
The homes feature unique, custom-crafted layouts. Eighteen units will include private outdoor spaces, and all will have access to a beautiful landscaped garden and common rooftop terrace. The rear garden will provide residents with gardening opportunities, a bocce court and will feature 5,300 square feet of planted beds and flowering trees.
The apartment interiors are set apart by elegant, well-crafted details that include oversized windows, stained rift and quartered white oak floors, and 9-foot-high ceilings.. Kitchens offer elegantly detailed millwork, high-end appliances, Pietra Cardosa stone countertops, Italian marble backsplashes, and waterfall wood islands. The master bath features radiant-heated, herringbone-patterned stone floors, custom craft wood vanities, marble walls, rain showers, and towel warmers. The multi-floor penthouses offer working fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings, wraparound glass windows, and access to private roof decks.
Amenities include a full-time doorman, superintendent and porter services, private parking for purchase, a common rooftop sundeck, a private, landscaped garden with quiet alcoves, vegetable garden, bocce court, fitness center, a children’s playroom, pet grooming station, bicycle storage and private storage units available for purchase.
Residents at 345 Carroll will never find themselves with a dull moment, so long as they explore the many activities and opportunities that Carroll Gardens offers. With restaurants, markets, cafes, and shops galore, good food and services are just steps away.
