Built in 1867 by a carpenter and builder from England named George H. Heath, this expansive Carroll Gardens property comprises two buildings: a sprawling 5,000 sf 4-story corner townhouse at 62 3rd Street, and a 1,000 sf carriage house with parking for 3 cars at 392 Hoyt Street. These buildings occupy the same lot, which measures 22.9 ft wide at the front on 3rd St and 28.8 ft wide at the back, on a lot that s 81.3 ft deep along Hoyt St. Perched on a hillside over the Gowanus, 62 3rd Street is graced with light, air, and vistas rarely found in Brownstone Brooklyn. With its original cornice intact, the retail space has ceilings that soar close to 12 feet high and wraps around the corner of Hoyt Street. This loft-like space could be easily renovated for residential use or adapted as a store, gallery, office or other purpose. There s a full basement as well, with unusually high 9-foot ceilings and stairs to Hoyt St. Upstairs there are three spacious and sunny floor-through apartments, which feature high ceilings and windows on three sides. The top floor windows provide stunning panoramic views of Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, and Park Slope. On the roof there s the potential for a deck with unforgettable views of Downtown Brooklyn, lower Manhattan, and beyond. 62 Third Street sits at the crossroads of Carroll Gardens and Gowanus, and is close to the best of both neighborhoods. The well-established boutiques and restaurants of Smith Street in Carroll Gardens are just two blocks to the west. A quick stroll down the hill brings you to Whole Foods and the hip new restaurants, bars, and other attractions of Gowanus, which is in the midst of a tremendous transformation and revitalization. For a quick commute to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn, the F & G trains are just a block away. Bring your contractor and architect and make this stunning property your own.
