\n\tBrooklyn<\/a> townhouses have come a long way from their 19th-century origins, and this Greek Revival residence in Cobble Hill<\/a> offers a compelling example of how the form continues to evolve. Built in the 1830s, the 25-foot-wide home was completely reimagined by\u00a0Yellowtrees Studio<\/a>, resulting in a thoughtful blend of historic character and contemporary design that avoids both museum-like preservation and the formulaic feel of a luxury flip.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat truly sets it apart, however, is its scale. Spanning more than 6,300 square feet across six levels, the residence feels closer to a Gilded Age Manhattan mansion than a traditional brownstone. Its uncommon width and generous footprint accommodate spaces rarely found in city townhouses, including expansive entertaining areas, multiple home offices, and an unusual amount of outdoor space.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe designers preserved original plaster detailing and wood-burning fireplaces while introducing clean-lined white oak finishes and high-efficiency passive-house mechanical systems. A private elevator now connects all six floors, making the home\u2019s considerable scale feel remarkably practical. Another standout is the seamless indoor-outdoor flow, particularly during the warmer months.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main parlor level is anchored by a dramatic double-height great room, while the kitchen opens directly onto a terrace overlooking the garden below. On the garden level, a family room extends out to the deep, south-facing backyard, reinforcing the home\u2019s strong connection to its outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe upper levels are particularly well configured. A full-floor primary suite includes a spacious dressing room, a compartmentalized marble-clad bathroom with a fireplace, and a private terrace. Crowning the home is a penthouse-level room flanked by two roof decks with skyline views. Although it includes an en suite bath and could function as an additional bedroom, the space feels better suited as a lounge, studio, or work-from-home retreat.<\/p>\n
