Let’s face it: In general the stock of townhouses in North Brooklyn doesn’t come close to that of Brownstone Brooklyn. But if you’re an old house enthusiast with a hankering for the hipness of Greenpoint, this newish listing at 143 Kent Street may let you have your cake and eat it too. The former parish house has a grandeur and historic vibe rarely found north of Myrtle Avenue–along with some modern updates on the upper floors that add a lightness and airiness to the place. Of course, the owners know what they have and aren’t giving it away: Asking price for the 5,000-square-foot three-family is $2,650,000.
