784 Carroll Street #1
List Price: $669,000; maintenance/common charges: $469
Size: One bedroom, one bathroom
Details: Oh, how I wish I could plagiarize the original, brilliantly written listing. Here’s a tantalizing snippet: “As if rising from the pages of a modern-day fairy tale, 784 Carroll Street’s captivating façade combines lush greenery with picturesque nineteenth century architecture. Set on the incomparably idyllic corner of Polhemus Place and Carroll Street, in a Romanesque Revival mansion designed by Charles Werner…” OK, that’s enough. No, wait, it’s not: “As we step inside, we are transported to a place where magic may indeed exist.” Emily Brontë’s contemporary here goes on to describe dappled sunlight steaming through the leaves outside the north- and east-facing windows. But more to the point: This one-bedroom boasts original moldings and oak floors, a fully updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a functional breakfast bar, and a renovated bathroom with heated floors. The dining alcove, it is pointed out, could also serve as a home office space. Situated in close proximity to the B, Q, 2, 3 and R subway lines. Dogs are not permitted.
Open House: Sunday, August 9, 1-3pm
