A restored 1840s Brooklyn Heights townhouse that sold for $5.35 million in 2023 is now listed for $12.75 million. The five-level, 6,000-sq-ft home retains its 1848 Greek Revival character while its electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other systems have been rebuilt.
An 1840s Greek Revival townhouse in Brooklyn Heights recently returned to the market after a major $5.35 million purchase and a subsequent $12.75 million renovation. The 6,000-square-foot property, spanning five levels, boasts six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Current owners, who purchased the home in 2023, undertook the extensive renovation, which included updating electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, reconstructing a rear wall, and incorporating modern features like an all-electric LG heat-pump system and hemp insulation.
The interior preserves the property's historic character, with restored millwork and mantelpieces, while featuring contemporary elements such as Bianco Carrara marble countertops, solid white-oak floors, and high-end appliance installations like Bertazzoni, Sub-Zero, and Miele. The townhouse also includes a one-bedroom suite on the garden level, along with a gym, sauna, and steam shower, as well as an eight-foot-deep ipe terrace with a landscaped garden and bluestone patio.
The property's location in Brooklyn Heights, known for its preserved architecture and close proximity to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade, and Manhattan, contributes to its appeal to buyers seeking a blend of historic charm and modern living.
