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. The five-bedroom residence, asking $18,000,000, was commissioned by the award-winning architecture and design firm Leroy Street Studio. Recently featured in Architectural Digest, this British Regency-style limestone mansion has been recreated with dramatic details like double-height entertaining levels and terraced, landscaped outdoor spaces, executed with flawless engineering skill and modern design expertise. The home would become Park Slope's priciest townhouse on record if it sells for the asking price.

7 must-have luxury apartment perks in NYC, according to brokers

By Lidia Ryan

There’s a running joke among New Yorkers that having in-unit laundry means you’ve "made it." And, according to Corcoran broker Vicki Negron, at this point, in-unit washer-dryers are an "absolute must" for a New York City apartment to be considered part of the "luxury" market. "People are eager for any opportunity to avoid a trip to the laundromat. Even if it means sacrificing closet space to accommodate an in-unit washer and dryer, it's a trade-off that many are willing to make,” she added. So now that we’ve reached peak washer/dryer necessity, what are the next big things in NYC luxury apartment living? Real estate brokers dished on what’s hot on the market right now.
