On a landmarked Park Slope block lined with historic townhomes, the four-story Italianate brownstone at 101 Park Place is as classic as they come from the outside. Within, the two-family property (currently being used as a single-family home) goes beyond the usual historic renovation. Asking $6,995,000, the house has well-preserved fine details like wedding-cake molding, while offering five levels of state-of-the-art 21st-century comfort and convenience.
The townhouse is set up to allow the lower two floors to be used as a self-contained duplex with garden access. Throughout, the home has been updated from top to bottom. Updates include new plumbing and electrical systems, nine-zone hydronic radiant floor heating, eleven-zone air conditioning, water filtration, and integrated smart home systems. There’s even a Level 2 electric vehicle charging setup at the curb.
The parlor floor unfolds beneath high ceilings with perfectly preserved decorative details. At the rear, the home has been extended by ten feet across its entire width on its three lower levels; custom glazing on the garden and parlor levels opens them to the garden and fills the rooms with natural light.
Additional exquisite details include French chevron-patterned oak floors, plasterwork archways, and restored marble mantels.
The parlor floor kitchen was designed with integrated appliances, a BlueStar range, two sinks, and worktops of Belgian bluestone. French doors allow access to a rear deck that leads to the garden.
On the third floor, each of the two bedrooms gets similarly restored historic details, including a graceful plaster archway in the front room, which also has an ensuite bathroom. Another bath boasts a claw-foot tub and Moroccan tile floors.
The top floor is home to the primary bedroom suite, with high ceilings enhanced by exposed rafters. The front room is currently in use as a den, with a large skylight, brick walls, timber bookcases, and a wood-burning fireplace. This floor also contains a tidy kitchenette and laundry facilities for daily convenience.
The rare perk of a landscaped roof terrace is up one flight, with iconic downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn views from two seating areas, perennial plantings, and a drip irrigation system. Built for safety and longevity, this elevated oasis boasts steel beams, a new roof membrane, and a new floating tile system.
Back on the garden level, enter through a hallway lined with French stone tiles. Inside, walls are clad in glass and steel, framing floors of wide-plank oak. A sprawling family room is served by a designer’s dream kitchen with Belgian bluestone worktops and a BlueStar range. Steel factory doors open onto a beautifully landscaped, planted bi-level garden.
As part of the bedroom suite, the bathroom is accented by Belgian stone and Moroccan zellige tile. This floor also has its own laundry facilities.
On the lowest level of the townhouse is a finished basement framed by brick arches. This versatile living space is currently set up as an open rec room/gym and a lounge/workspace. Another room was designed for music and recording. This level is served by a half-bath.
