"The dwelling's luxurious mix of modern and historic architecture includes a separate office and garage with an off-street entrance. On the exterior, this Park Slope brownstone still has some of the Italianate details that define the style, but after it last sold the interior got a modern reno. The luxurious interior and a garage with an off-street entrance might make 96 6th Avenue appealing to those who want some perks and privacy."
"In the Park Slope Historic District Extension II, the brownstone sits on the corner of Prospect Place and is one of a row of six. The row likely dates to the 1860s, according to the designation report, and was in place by 1869. The house, already a legal single-family since 2000 as shown by a certificate of occupancy, last traded hands in 2006."
"Finishes are mostly neutral and light throughout, with pale wood floors and a whisper of color in the paint choices. While it looks like a portion of the original stair might have been left in place on the parlor floor, a modern staircase has also been inserted. There are also modern mantels and built-ins. The front parlor presents a mostly traditional appearance with period-appropriate moldings, a mantel, and bay window."
Corner brownstone in Park Slope Historic District Extension II sits on Prospect Place as one of a row of six likely dating to the 1860s. The dwelling combines Italianate exterior details with a modern gut renovation, a new two-story rear extension, and a brick two-car garage facing Prospect Place. The house has been a legal single-family since 2000 and last traded in 2006. Three exposures on all four floors provide abundant light. Interiors feature neutral pale wood floors, a mix of retained historic elements and inserted modern staircases, mantels, and built-ins. The parlor opens to a rear kitchen with a massive marble island and wall of glass that frames the landscaped rear yard and an office above the garage connected by an iron catwalk.
