74 2nd Pl Apt 1B

74 2nd Place, Apartment 1B is a refined Carroll Gardens residence defined by generous proportions and a thoughtful balance of classic character and contemporary finishes. This two-bedroom, two-bath home is distinguished by high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a seamless flow between living and entertaining spaces. Original architectural character has been thoughtfully preserved throughout, including a decorative mantel fireplace that lends warmth and authenticity to the living area, while central air conditioning adds comfort year-round. Upon entry, the residence opens into a sizable great room that effortlessly integrates the living and dining areas, creating an inviting and well-proportioned atmosphere. Wide-plank white oak hardwood flooring runs throughout, grounding the interiors with warmth and continuity, while oversized north- and south-facing exposures fill the space with soft natural light all day. Situated just off the great room, the kitchen has been designed as a true centerpiece of the home. Anchored by a striking stone island that naturally defines the space, the kitchen offers extensive custom cabinetry and a fully integrated suite of premium appliances, including a Viking range and microwave, Bosch dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel French-door refrigerator, and a built-in Summit wine refrigerator seamlessly incorporated into the island. Taj Mahal stone countertops introduce warmth and texture, while clean architectural lines preserve the sense of openness. Discreetly tucked along the hall, a dedicated laundry closet houses an LG washer and dryer for added convenience. Beyond the main living area, the home unfolds into a quieter private wing. The primary suite is expansive and luxurious, with beautiful natural light streaming through two large windows and ample room for a king-size bed. The primary bedroom also features a spacious walk-in closet. The ensuite bath evokes a spa-like atmosphere through a sophisticated mix of natural stonework, a dual-sink custom vanity, rain shower, and carefully curated finishes. Carrara hex tile within the shower, stone flooring, timeless ceramic wall tile, and custom cabinetry create a palette that feels refined, timeless, and deeply calming. The secondary bedroom is well-proportioned offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The secondary bath is finished with timeless subway tile, a custom vanity, and a deep soaking tub, creating a clean and understated aesthetic.
