This 1846 Greek Revival townhouse at 37 Sidney Place in historic Brooklyn Heights was listed back in 2021, after a stem-to-stern renovation following Passive House standards.

Asking $17,000,000, the stately brick home brought convenience on board in the form of an elevator that serves all floors, from the basement gym to the skylit top-floor "treehouse room." The inside-and-out renovation even upped the drama quotient in the home's multiple outdoor spaces, including two terraces and a landscaped back garden on an extra-long lot.
