287 Hoyt Street

Brooklyn, NY 11231

California Dreaming........Move right into this versatile 3-story corner Townhouse.....just in time for Spring....that offers a home with income potential and a flexible floor plan: Plus a deck, small garden, full-size usable basement/cellar and your own free standing garage.
Up the front stoop, one enters into the open-plan parlor floor with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. A sunny and welcoming Living Room, Dining Area and charming "Country" kitchen beckons you in. Right off the kitchen is a door leading to a well-designed and landscaped large bi-level deck, with steps down to your own garage. The deck is sheltered from the street with beautiful mature vines, as well as having lovely views of St. Agnes Church, expansive views of the sky and brownstone Brooklyn, and great light all day. Private and intimate while being open and airy -- perfect for Sunday brunches, or entertaining.
Presently a Single-Family home with 2 bedrooms on the top floor, a 3rd Bedroom suite on the ground floor (which can also be a rental unit), and two baths. The house features lovely hardwood floors, a beautiful bright staircase with original banister and center skylight, exposed brick walls and pre-war detailing throughout.
The 2 good-sized Bedrooms on the top floor each have a large walk-in closet and there is a bright recently remodeled tiled bathroom with a window and separate tub and shower. There is ladder access to the roof which could possibly be turned into an additional pentroom and deck.
The garden level with its open-plan Guest Quarters (and/or a rental unit), leads directly to a small backyard and garage. It could easily be a Master Bedroom Suite, or divided into 2 separate bedrooms, or transformed with a Home-Office or Art Studio -- whatever your needs are. There are large windows on this level, beautiful wide plank original wood floors and a remodeled bathroom. The full basement has good ceiling height, a cement floor, upgraded mechanicals, and built-in shelving.
The wrap around exterior garden space is a landscaper's dream and there is also the possibility of adding windows onto the Sackett St. side of the home in full view of this historic St. Agnes Church.
287 Hoyt Street is located on a sunny corner - on a lovely tree-lined street in Carroll Gardens, one block from Smith Street, just a few blocks from Whole Foods, Black Mountain Wine House, Frankies 457, Prime Meats, Caf? Luluc, and many more great neighborhood shops and restaurants. Local public school down the block. A short walk to Trader's Joes, Barclay Center and Prospect Park, and just 2 blocks away is the Weekend Farmer's Market, Carroll Park and the "F" & "G" trains.
287 Hoyt St. is a Gem! Not your cookie-cutter renovation.
It's a very special reason to make Carroll Gardens your home. Move to Brooklyn...You will be glad you did!
