Yowza! This townhouse at 105 Lincoln Place that just popped up in the Brownstoner Marketplace is not for traditionalists but buyers with a more modern bent will be tripping over themselves to check it out. Except for the stairs and some window details (which are presumably protected by Landmarks law), the four-story brownstone has not only been gutted but in some parts hollowed out. The most prominent feature of the makeover: A large steel-and-glass staircase connecting the garden and parlor levels that been dropped into the middle of the floorplate. From where we sit, the fixture choices in both the kitchen and bathrooms are very tasteful and the yard benefits from the 137-foot-deep lot. Of course, modern luxury doesn’t come cheap: The price tag on this baby is $3,695,000. By comparison, this place sold for $2,000,000 pre-renovation in 2006.

This place is defiantly nice with some great features but not sure the ‘modern’ twist works…at least for me. However, I know people who love when these townhouses have been updated this way so have to think it has appeal.
May be a purely subjective thing, but with a modern gut renno, it would be great to work a way to have the kitchen / dining room / living room all on the same floor. The stair dropping in is quite dramatic and cool looking if you like that look, but may not be the best use of the space in it’s current location..
Overall, love how modern it looks on the inside relative to the outside. 21st Century living..
Crass. Since we live in the Golden Age of American Crass, it will probably sell. Maybe I’m too much of a traditionalist, but damn! This is pretty hideous.
It seems to me they sacrificed the best room in the house (front parlor) for that staircase. A garden level living room is not as special as a parlor floor living room.
Snarky, many of my favorite architectural styles are post 1900, but they do not include this style, I admit.
Ooo, one to many “dos”…..
Why must I beg for my questions to be answered? Why do you do all do this to me. Really, though, how can none of you have mentioned what I brought up?
> The interior is vulgar.
Just be honest and say you hate all design post-1900.
Invisible sort of nails it for me.
The interior is vulgar. It really is “trade in your gold molars” glitz.
Perfectly OK for wild and crazy guys but a little declasse for most upwardly mobile families.
