Carlynn Matern

- 18 years experience helping buyers, sellers, renters, and landlords
- Understands and supports the emotions of all real estate decisions and transactions
- Long-time Park Sloper and Brooklyn Enthusiast
For 18 years, Carlynn has been delighted to help countless people find, sell, and rent their homes. Embracing Park Slope as one of the world’s most vibrant urban neighborhoods, she never tires of noticing new architectural details, discovering a previously unexplored path in Prospect Park, or marveling at the world-class triumphal arch in Grand Army Plaza. After leaving a twenty-year career in Marketing and Promotion at various publishing companies like St. Martin’s Press, Pearson, Scholastic, Macmillan, and McGraw-Hill, Carlynn adventured to Zurich, Switzerland in 1997 with her husband Ted and daughter Claire. They rented out their Park Slope brownstone and settled for three years in the cobble-stoned village of Horgen on Lake Zurich, and traveled through London, Paris, Milan, Vienna, Lyon, and Nice. Upon her return, Carlynn applied the skills and negotiating savvy she honed from years of managing a creative staff in publishing to a successful career in real estate.

Hiller & MoonFavorite Local StoreA large selection of cheeses, charcuterie, bread, and olives, as well as chocolates and baked goods. My husband, Ted, a trained chef, was the general manager of Dean & DeLuca, Soho and Gourmet Factory, Zurich. When we returned to Park Slope, he was excited to open a specialty food store in our home neighborhood.

Nostro RistoranteFavorite Local RestaurantWonderful Italian dishes prepared and served by the owners who are originally from Naples. Have your table share the fried calamari and the gnocchi with kale-pesto and pine nuts, then everyone can choose a main course. I recommend the herbed, roasted lamb chop.

The Fourth FloorFavorite Floor at the Brooklyn MuseumPeriod furnished rooms; a completely reconstructed Flatlands farm house; decorative arts including ceramics, glassware and silver. Beautifully hand-crafted wrought-iron balustrades, elevator grille-work and gates. A treasure of architectural details and furniture.
