If you wanted to show a flawless example of Park Slope brownstone living, this four-story townhouse at 100 6th Avenue would serve you well. Asking $6,750,000, the 19th-century two-family home on a landmarked North Slope block is filled with historic details like Italianate marble mantels and original oak flooring with mahogany inlays. Layered on top are luxury modern additions, like a multi-zoned HVAC and upgraded Marvin windows.
The home’s interiors offer the sophistication of an artisan’s touch, including hand-restored millwork and finishes. The property is currently configured as a five-bedroom owner’s triplex above a one-bedroom rental unit, with a finished basement below.
The parlor level is a showcase of period grandeur. Opening beneath ceilings that soar to nearly 12 feet, rooms are framed by arched doorways, custom plasterwork, and delicate crown moldings.
Past a light-filled living room is an elegant formal dining room bookended by two working wood-burning fireplaces. A thoroughly modern kitchen has custom walnut shelving, polished concrete countertops, and a Thermador fridge and gas range.
Another highlight of townhouse living: Two secluded outdoor spaces, including a terrace and a charming bluestone garden. The verdant English garden is lined with perennial plantings and framed by ivy-covered walls.
On the second floor, the considered-yet-colorful design continues. A large primary suite has softly lime-washed walls in a calming sage hue, a delightfully designed bath with a walk-in shower, and a dressing room. A second lively chamber gets a marble-surround decorative fireplace.
On the skylit top floor are three more bedrooms (two with vintage marble sinks), one of which is being used as a den. For added convenience, there is a fully-stocked laundry room on this floor.
Below the renovated garden apartment is an 800-square-foot cellar with restored original brick arches. Currently used as an art studio, gym, and wine cellar, it offers plenty of storage space as well.
