About this home
393 President Street is a character-filled Brooklyn townhouse with a beautifully refreshed facade, tucked onto a quiet, one-block street in Carroll Gardens, near Park Slope and the rapidly transforming Gowanus waterfront, Brooklyn's "Little Venice," with exciting new development, restaurants, galleries and neighborhood amenities. Get in while you can! <br> <br>Owner-occupied by artists who cared for this home for over 50 years, this charming townhouse features exposed brick, patterned pressed-tin ceilings, wide-plank wood floors, a turned-baluster staircase, beadboard wainscoting, wonderfully quirky vintage bathroom fixtures, a Garland stove and deep back yard. <br><br>Bring your vision and contractor to modernize it to make it your own. <br><br> <strong> The real showstopper is the extraordinary light and openness of the top floor.</strong> Formerly the owner's artist atelier, it has recently been transformed into an airy, sun-filled, open loft-style space, with an enormous skylight overhead and additional skylights in the hallway and bathroom. Recently sanded wood floors add to the spacious feeling. The flexible layout offers the potential for three bedrooms on this level, including a primary bedroom, and two more on the middle floor, subject to applicable approvals.<br><br> Southern exposure brightens the front rooms, while low-rise neighbors to the east offer open garden views. Out back, a private, leafy garden was recently landscaped by the Brooklyn Garden Club with a new flagstone path and a lovely mix of hydrangeas, boxwoods, coral bells, ferns, evergreens and flowering perennials. <strong>All the rear windows now overlook this delightful garden, offering sparkling green views throughout the house.</strong> A whimsical woven garden arch adds charm, while the high wall adjoining the renovated P.S. 32 addition provides unusual privacy. A leaded stained-glass window and a charming planting nook beside the front stoop add a few more delightful touches.<br><br> Currently configured with one main kitchen, and 2.5 bathrooms, the home was most recently enjoyed as a duplex with the full-floor studio above repleat with large sink, plus a full-height cellar with storage, workshop, mechanicals and laundry. With a two-family certificate of occupancy, 393 President offers possibilities for owner-occupancy, rental income or single-family conversion.<br><br> PropertyShark lists the building as 20 x 45 feet on a 20 x 100-foot lot, with about 2,700 square feet above grade. The approximately 900-square-foot cellar provides additional space, while the stated FAR suggests up to approximately 4,000 square feet of total permitted floor area, subject to independent zoning, architectural and DOB verification.<br><br> <strong> A wonderfully individual Brooklyn townhouse with remarkable light, creative possibilities and a front-row seat to one of Brooklyns most exciting neighborhood transformations.</strong> 393 President Street is less than 2 blocks to the Smith St F/G stop, 3.5 blocks to the R train's Union Street stop, a 10 minute walk to Whole Foods and just 7 mins walk to the soon to open Union Market, going in at 499 President St. <br><br> Property dimensions, bedroom potential, permitted uses, and expansion possibilities should be independently verified....
