Built in 1899, the renovated residence includes four spacious levels, with a separate, rental-ready apartment on the ground floor.

In the larger unit, the main living room features 18-foot ceilings and exposed brick walls that are original to the 1899 home.

New to the market in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood is a striking multifamily home that dates back to the 19th century. Tucked away on a tree-lined street in the quaint New York enclave, the red-brick townhouse boasts nearly 3,000 square feet and includes two turnkey units: a four-bedroom triplex and a two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor.

The renovated 19th-century townhouse sits in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood just a short walk from Prospect Park.

The dwelling, which underwent a gut renovation several years ago, mixes contemporary upgrades with original character details, such as the 19th-century exposed brick. "The juxtaposition within the home is truly striking," says the current owner, who purchased the property in 2008. "Upon entering, you’re immediately greeted by the vast living room, with its exposed steel beams and wrapped staircase."

In the four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom triplex, an open-plan living room with 18-foot ceilings enhances the home’s overall sense of space. "The bright, wide-open interior is tempered by the warmth of the brick walls and hardwood floors, which creates a contrast that I’ve always found inviting," says the owner.

As part of the gut renovation, modern touches were integrated throughout the home, including exposed steel beams in the living room and a white-painted staircase near the kitchen.
