Tour a $16.7M Cobble Hill Townhouse Revamped with Contemporary Sophistication

At the edge of Brooklyn Heights lies the charming neighborhood of Cobble Hill, where a stunning new listing awaits with an equally striking price tag: $16.65 million. The reimagined Greek Revival townhouse, located at 168 Pacific Street, exudes contemporary sophistication though it originally dates back to 1835, reflecting Brooklyn’s unique blend of history and groovy, polished style.

Spanning more than 6,300 square feet across six levels, the home houses 11 total rooms, with potential for six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, a powder room, and home offices. The multidisciplinary team at Peter Guthrie’s Yellowtrees Studio gracefully redesigned it, integrating curving forms like the oval-shaped staircase, clean yet bold touches, and high-impact appliances and advancements. All-new mechanical systems were also brought in, along with structural enhancements to ensure this home stands strong for further centuries, too.

Buyers may be most impressed by the lush outdoor space, however. Beautifully landscaped and pristine, the south-facing garden provides a verdant oasis while the home’s terraces give off a European sense of refinement. They’re perfect for summer entertaining, especially the dual penthouse terraces displaying relaxing city views.

Nearly 200 years after it was built, this stately brownstone has been revamped to feel sophisticated and upscale yet relaxed, livable, and functional for today. It’s also packed with luxe amenities to love, from a media room to the home gym. Lindsay Barrett and Christopher Mohr of Compass hold the listing.
