Restored by the architect responsible for the cozy elegance of Balthazar and Tavern on the Green, this south Brooklyn home has retained plenty of historic detail like classic French moldings, Italian marble mantles and a wood-burning fireplace with modern comforts like new HVAC seamlessly added. Kirke’s penchant for laid-back glamour adds a completely unique feel from the opulent chandeliers to the richly-hued painted walls. On the parlor floor, a loft-meets-country kitchen frames an impressive vintage-style range, with a rustic wood breakfast bar and plenty of entertainment space nearby.

Asking $3.2M, a rare pair of townhouses on Brooklyn’s quaint ‘secret’ block with tiny doors

By Michelle Cohen

New York City never runs out of surprises, and some of the best ones are hidden in plain sight. Dennett Place in Carroll Gardens is just such a hidden surprise. The fun-sized block near the Gowanus Canal is lined with equally diminutive townhouses, each with a miniature "hobbit door." Though the neighborhood has changed, the block still has the look of a quaint European alleyway and the charm of a tight-knit community–though no one seems to know what the half-pint doors are for. The homes here don't change hands often, but a pair of multi-family townhouses at 14 and 16 Dennett Place is on the market for the first time in 100 years, asking $3.2 million for both.
