On the corner of a picturesque Park Slope avenue, the 1860s Italianate row house at 96 Sixth Avenue anchors a block of historic brownstones. Inside, the home unfolds in modern magnificence, the result of a gut renovation by the architectural firm Baxt Ingui, IA Construction, and Tamara Eaton Design. In its current form, the five-bedroom home, asking $12,750,000, combines 19th-century glamour and contemporary design. A custom-built rear extension includes a separate studio and the rare bonus of a two-car garage, connected to the main home via a modern catwalk–all without sacrificing outdoor garden and deck space.

On the parlor floor, original grace and beauty have been preserved and enhanced in the form of arched entry doors, bay windows, decorative millwork, a fireplace, and hardwood floors. Large, open spaces are flooded with natural light.

At the back of the parlor floor, a sophisticated kitchen expands at an angle, framed by a wall of glass. Dark navy custom cabinetry wraps state-of-the-art appliances and a massive stone-clad island anchors the room.
