Like its neighbors, this barrel-fronted townhouse at 611 76th Street has all the exterior charm of classic brick, brownstone, and limestone. Inside, the 1913 home, asking $1,695,000, has the beautifully preserved architectural details of so many of the city's Italianate and Renaissance Revival mansions, at a manageable price.

The Clinton Hill townhouse where Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe lived is asking $17.5K/month

6sqft previously featured the rental listing for the townhouse at 160 Hall Street in Clinton Hill in 2018, then asking $8,000 per month. The 1901 home in the historic neighborhood is on the city's cultural map, as it once was home to downtown punk legend Patti Smith and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. The "Just Kids" pair made their first home together on one floor of the home for $80/month in 1967. Today's kids will likely need to look elsewhere, as the townhouse is back on the market for a decidedly not-1967 rent of $17,500/month. If you're not ready to buy, the home provides an opportunity to try Brooklyn townhouse living with all the trimmings.
