SHOP THE LISTING: Park Slope’s priciest townhouse is an $18M masterpiece of modern design

Not all big-ticket properties live up to their astronomical price tags, but the most expensive listing in Park Slope–a custom-engineered five-story townhouse at 535 1st Street on a prime landmarked block–is the very definition of no-expense-spared reconstruction.

Sleep Week 2024: Here’s what you need to get better rest

Sleep Awareness Week is here. While it’s not always easy to get the right amount of rest and sleep, it’s important to do so. "Rest is an essential part of productivity because we’re not machines," says Amelia Pleasant Kennedy, CEO and founder of A Pleasant Solution. "Our brains and bodies need a break from the constant decisions and calculations we’re making throughout the day." Kennedy tells 6sqft that we mistakenly think there will be more time in the future to rest and sleep if we get a few more things done right now. "Yet this can be a trap that leads to overworking," she says. "The chores and work will wait, and you’ll be better prepared to tackle these activities once you’re refreshed."
