The luxury bar is being set ever higher for the once humble Brooklyn brownstone, and this 6,300-square-foot home at 168 Pacific Street<\/a>, asking $16.65 million, is a fine example. The 25-foot-wide Greek Revival home offers six elevator-accessible levels of living, starting with a wine cave and gym and topped by a dazzling penthouse suite with skyline views. Just in time for summer entertaining, outdoor spaces include a south-facing garden, multiple terraces, and roof decks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 1830s townhouse sits on a 100-foot-deep lot in the postcard-perfect Cobble Hill Historic District. The home has seen a complete renovation with new mechanical systems and structural upgrades, using passive house principles for maximum energy efficiency. <\/p>\n

Twenty-first-century enhancements include historically correct window restoration, a new front stoop, cornice, and ironwork, and dramatic rear and rooftop additions. A private elevator connects all six levels from the cellar to the penthouse.<\/p>\n

Behind an elegant brick-and-brownstone fa\u00e7ade, innovative interior design by Peter Guthrie\u2019s Yellowtrees Studio sets the home apart from its would-be imitators. Bespoke construction lends sophistication to white oak window walls, Marvin historic double-hung windows, German white oak flooring, solid pulled plaster detailing, restored wood-burning fireplaces, and elegant brass hardware. <\/p>\n

The parlor level is the home\u2019s main entertaining space in true brownstone style. A light-filled double-height great room is framed by unique fixtures, handmade lighting, and architectural details both new and historic.<\/p>\n

A simple, elegant kitchen features quartz and marble worktops, integrated appliances, and pale wood custom cabinetry. The kitchen opens onto a terrace that leads down to the verdant backyard.<\/p>\n

Private living quarters occupy two upper floors. A full-floor primary suite boasts a large dressing room, a peerless marble-clad bath with a fireplace, and a private terrace.<\/p>\n

Topping the townhouse is a peerless penthouse with 360-degree skyline views from the terrace. Within is room for a home office or entertainment space, plus a bedroom with a full bath.<\/p>\n

The home\u2019s lowest level (also elevator-accessible) offers another collection of amenities befitting a private club. Down here, you\u2019ll find a gym, a sauna, a wine cave, a wet bar, and laundry facilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The townhouse sits at the crossroads of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Boerum Hill for convenience to shopping, dining, and transportation. Brooklyn Bridge Park and a ferry landing are just steps away.<\/p>\n
