Designed by the legendary CPH Gilbert, built by well-known developer Harvey Murdock, and located in Brooklyn’s “Gold Coast”, 853 Carroll is a sterling example of the luxury constructed in 1880’s Park Slope.

Grand oak molding frames the large bay windows overlooking the peaceful tree-lined street. Carved Ionic columns with hand-assembled beaded fretwork leads to the rear parlor. All four rooms on the parlor level have well-maintained original white-oak parquet flooring - each featuring a unique inlaid border. Impressive 8' foot mahogany pocket doors featuring acid-etched glass panels featuring the Bloodroot flower, a native species of Brooklyn, leads to an updated chef's kitchen. The millwork throughout the space is adorned with various native Northeastern flowers, reflecting a historical trend of bringing nature indoors. The eat-in kitchen is expansive, with hardwood shaker-style cabinets that blend seamlessly with the original architectural details. Modern stainless steel appliances equip the space perfectly for any home chef. From the kitchen, you can step out into the private garden.
