Rundown Brooklyn townhouse built in 1901 hits the market for $5.75 MILLION after gut-renovation
A rundown, Brooklyn townhouse built in 1901 has hit the market for $5.75million after a massive renovation.
The 119-year-old classic brownstone in the upmarket neighborhood of Park Slope was gutted down to the studs before a luxury remodel was carried out.
New additions to the property include Carrara marble-clad kitchen and bathrooms, a private elevator, garden, terrace and roof deck, as well as a coveted, reserved parking spot.
The top-to-bottom redesign was carried out by The Brooklyn Home Company, a family-run collective of developers and interior designers founded more than a decade ago by brother-sister duo Bill Caleo and Lyndsay Caleo Karol.
The 2,400-square-foot townhouse has five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, including a guest suite, and a garden room wet bar featuring a 48-bottle wine cooler.
It features paintings by Lyndsay Caleo Karol’s artist husband, Fitzhugh Karol, as well as a bespoke wood mantelpiece and a barn door in the master bedroom, as reported in Mansion Global.
The large gourmet kitchen features a range of upscale appliances, including an AGA range and Bosch refrigerator and two dishwashers, plus additional under-counter wine and beverage fridges
The kitchen, pictured left before and right after, was in a sorry state when the company took on the remodel, stripping out all old appliances. Custom wood cabinetry and white Carrara marble counters offer exceptional prep and storage space in the newly remodeled kitchen, pictured above
The home, built in 1901, hadn’t been updated in years and had to be gutted down to the studs. The walls were peeling and had suffered water damage, as seen above
The inviting open-plan parlor level enjoys grand proportions and wide-plank engineered oak floors made from local Madera Trade. The kitchen is bathed in light all day by a wall of south-facing windows, which overlook the private garden oasis
When Brooklyn Home Company took on the project the home had been neglected for many years, with lino-floors and peeling paint, as pictured here in a before photo
The light-filled living room is styled in neutral tones and accented with organic materials, and features a large gas fireplace

The garden floor is designed for indoor-outdoor living, with a large family room that opens to the bluestone patio and turf lawn garden. This level is complete with a powder room, a wet bar, and a 48-bottle wine cooler, while Sonos speakers seal the deal for the perfect party. A guest suite sits near the separate garden entrance, and a nicely arranged mudroom welcomes you home, providing for easy arrivals and departures
The entrance hall, when the company took on the project, was badly damaged from years of disrepair, as pictured left. The classic stooped brownstone replaced the worn banisters with hand-crafted ones (right)
Before the renovation the company documented the state of the home, which hadn’t been updated in years, noting extensive damage from wear and tear over several decades, pictured above, as well as botched repair jobs
The home features many hand-crafted items and eco-mindful features from artists, including artist Fitzhugh Karol, husband of remodeller Lyndsay Caleo Karol
