On the market for $3.75 million, the unique family residence features multiple levels connected by suspended stairs and bridges.

Property Details:  

Location: 17 Jackson Place, Park Slope, Brooklyn

Price: $3,750,000

Year Built: 1901

Footprint: 3,016 square feet (five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths)

From the agent: "Located on the middle of a quiet, one way, tree-lined street is 17 Jackson Place. A contemporary townhouse and modern masterpiece of light and form. Designed, built, and crafted by a French-American architect couple over a host of years in a modern European contemporary style, this three-story, five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath townhouse was built to maximize light and volume so that every space in the house feels airy, sculptural, and connected."

Franco-American architect couple Fanny and Matthew Mueller spent 15 years renovating the townhouse at 17 Jackson Place in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood for themselves and their three children.

The architects incorporated a number of clever, personalized design elements into the multilevel home.

The family lived on the top floor of the residence while contractors demolished the existing main story and built a new structure with a split-level addition. "When it came time to stitch the existing and new together, we moved across the street to a one-bedroom apartment, keeping a close distance to allow us to follow the progress as well as contribute to the work— sometimes in the middle of the night while the children slept soundly," the architects say.
