Grand Carroll Gardens Brownstone With Original Details Gets a Price Chop to $6M

The story of the historic townhouse at 46 First Place in Carroll Gardens is just as much a story of its owner, Kathryn Sennis, who has lived in and worked from the elegant 1899 brownstone for nearly 32 years. In 2012, Sennis, a psychotherapist, opened Who's On First? Children's Enrichment Studio with her daughter here, offering art classes, parties, baby yoga and programs for parents and children, including foreign language classes and parenting groups. Ms. Sennis's story was highlighted in the Observer last May, where she told of buying the townhouse in 1981 for $250,000 from an “elderly Italian woman,” how her presence confused the neighbors at the time ("you ain't even Italian!") and how much the neighborhood has changed since then. She also talks of the extensive, exhaustive renovations she painstakingly undertook. She rents out the upper two floors, and her daughter uses the garden level of the four-family home. It’s a Brooklyn story like so many others–though in this case it's one with a $6 million price tag attached.

For $1.2M This Cobble Hill Garden Co-op Is a Perfect Place to Curl Up for a Nap

In the charming neighborhood of Cobble Hill near the border of equally charming Brooklyn Heights, on a tree-lined picture-postcard street, this sweet, old-fashioned (yet updated) garden apartment appears as cozy as they come. The 1,100-square-foot two-bedroom co-op at 119 Pacific Street, asking $1.195 million, looks–except for the price (which isn't even that bad)–almost the way apartments in this part of south Brooklyn used to look, from its wood-burning fireplace to its enchanting backyard.

Live Your Versailles Fantasies in This Gilded Upper East Side Mansion for $60K/Month

There are undoubtedly many grand mansions of this kind in the rarified environs of the Upper East Side, some even grander and gold-er–but they don't pop up among the rental listings too often. This triplex palace at 10 East 62nd Street is clearly in search of someone who is looking to make an impression. The rental bill is steep at $60,000 a month, but, again, there are plenty of big-ticket rentals around. What you're getting for your monthly outlay is less about substance than it is about 5,600 square feet of gold-and-marble-covered, let-them-eat-cake opulence–in addition to four bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, and an elevator, just to start with. The home has been on and off the rental market for several years–on the last go-round it was asking $48k (which is still in the listing title, though the listing body names the higher rent), and that was just a year ago. So whomever's behind the pricing has faith in the city's booming economy.

Four-Floor Stunner with a ‘Secret Garden’ Asks $11,000 a Month in Fort Greene

By Emily Nonko

Here is Brooklyn brownstone living at its finest. The historic 1880s townhouse at 139 South Oxford Street, located in the very brownstone-heavy neighborhood of Fort Greene, is a good blend of historic details and modern conveniences. It's got a very special landscaped backyard, a renovated kitchen, and a staircase to die for. It's split up as a two-family home, and the upper four floors are now on the rental market asking $11,000 a month. That's nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two half bathrooms and even additional basement storage! That's a lot of brownstone goodness right there.

Vote for 6sqft’s 2025 Building of the Year!

No matter what the rest of the world looks like, interest in real estate in New York City remains one of the few constants in life. In 2025, the market remained resilient, with long-anticipated projects hitting major milestones, from the sales launch at the Flatiron Building to the reopening of the Waldorf Astoria. Downtown Manhattan dominated this year, with several buildings in the running for record-breaking sales, including the potential first nine-figure deal below 14th Street at 80 Clarkson Street. While the skyline is always evolving, the mark of Robert A.M. Stern, who died this year at 86, is ever-present, with two limestone-clad towers on this year's list that serve as tributes to classic New York. 6sqft has narrowed our picks down to 14 of the most notable residential projects of the year. Which do you think deserves to be crowned the 2025 Building of the Year? Polls for our 11th annual competition will remain open through 5 p.m. on Monday, December 29. A winner will be announced on Tuesday, December 30. Happy voting!

11 classic New York songs that capture the spirit of the city

Type "New York" into a Spotify search, and you’ll get a list of hundreds and hundreds of titles (and those are just the ones with the city name in their title). Of course, the greatest city on Earth has inspired countless songs. After all, it’s the birthplace of hip-hop, punk rock, and disco, and was the launching pad of Billy Joel, Lady Gaga, and Jay-Z, to name just a few. But some tunes have made a more indelible mark on city life than others, which is why we’ve put together this list of 11 classic New York songs that capture the spirit of the city.

Eliot Spitzer’s planned Fifth Avenue condo tower gets height boost

By Aaron Ginsburg

Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's proposed Upper East Side condo project, which would replace a 1970s-era rental building with 26 luxury residences, just got a slight height boost. On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved Spitzer's proposal to raise his planned development at 985 Fifth Avenue from 19 to 20 stories using City of Yes zoning reforms, replacing a 25-story rental building approved for demolition in 2023. Other approved changes include a textured limestone facade, a rear yard extension, and the removal of an adjacent public plaza.

Path to profit: Why Jersey City condos are competing with Brooklyn brownstones

I lived in New York City for 15 years and swore I’d never leave. But when my then-fiance and I found ourselves crammed into an Upper West Side studio (along with two rambunctious cats) when the pandemic hit, we knew we had to make a move. And when we came across a $2,600/month one-bedroom apartment in a brand-new luxury building in Jersey City—complete with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lower Manhattan skyline, two outdoor pools, barbecue grills, and a gym—we simply couldn’t resist.

This jewel-box of a duplex at 347 West 22nd Street is the sort of Manhattan apartment in which you can imagine spending a cozy winter day in front of the fire.

Asking $2,150,000, the two-floor co-op has been renovated, but vintage details and colorful accents keep it unique.

New commute, new demand: NYC Ferry fuels housing boom on the waterfront

It’s been eight years since the city’s first commuter ferry set sail, and in that time, it’s completely transformed the way New Yorkers think about real estate. "The NYC Ferry has absolutely shifted the real estate landscape, especially in pockets of the city that weren’t always considered commuter-friendly," says Michelle Griffith, luxury real estate broker at Douglas Elliman. "Eight years ago, some of the waterfront neighborhoods like Red Hook or certain areas of the Rockaways felt much more remote. But once the ferry became a reliable commuting option, we started seeing renewed interest from buyers and renters who wanted that lifestyle balance: scenic, slightly quieter neighborhoods with direct access to Manhattan."

On the market for the first time in over 50 years, this two-family townhouse at 744 Carroll Street may not be sporting a brand-new re-do, but it's more than ready for classic Park Slope brownstone living. Asking $3,995,000, the 3,700-square-foot home currently offers a garden apartment with a triplex above (with capacity to build an additional 1,700 square feet). Interiors have been well-kept, retaining their graceful original architectural details; the home's standout feature, however, may be an extra-long backyard with winding stone paths, secluded gathering spots, and a vegetable garden.
