\n\tThis Park Slope brownstone offers Gilded Age architecture and a storied pedigree.\u00a0Dating to 1887, the finely detailed residence was designed by noted 19th-century high-society architect C.P.H. Gilbert, whose most famous commissions include a Fifth Avenue mansion for industrialist Andrew Carnegie,\u00a0now home to the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince then, the home has been owned by just four families, beginning with industrialist George W. Kenyon, a classmate of Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s at Harvard. Measuring 32 feet wide with roughly 8,200 square feet of interior space, it\u2019s one of the largest townhouses available in Brooklyn<\/a> and, at $16 million, currently the most expensive home available in the coveted Park Slope neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tHerringbone wood floors and mahogany paneling line the formal living room.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPlatinum Forbes Global Properties<\/p>\n

\n\tThe property has flitted on and off the market over the past couple of years and was most recently listed in September 2025 for $12.8 million, more than $3 million below its current asking price, with no major changes or upgrades to the home in the interim. Much of the original architectural detail remains intact, including intricate woodwork, mahogany paneling, and oak entry doors, while the home also offers ample opportunity for customization or a refresh by the next owner. Scarcity of homes of this caliber and recent sales<\/a> in the area may be among reasons for the uptick in price. Mackenzie Kyle and Thomas Handschiegel at Platinum Forbes Global Properties hold the listing<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong its most compelling features are 10 wood-burning fireplaces, beginning just inside the front door and continuing through to the primary suite upstairs. Bay windows and mahogany herringbone wood floors anchor the formal living room, which flows into the formal dining area and kitchen, the latter of which has been updated with sleek white cabinetry and a ceiling painted to resemble the sky.<\/p>\n
