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.

I would prefer the three story next door.
As for the renovation, what was the point of opeining up the floors? Better light? I remember a place in CG that did that but they did it for another level which really brightened up the middle.
Seems now they didn’t have the conviction for a complete modern reno.
Vessel sinks, ugh better to rip them out and use them for guacamole.
“two red mini coopers in a row. SO park Slope.”
Yes, same shot with two Buick LeSabre’s and it’s SO BH. 🙂

Oh wait, not all people are the same in any neighborhood despite your inability to expand your pea-sized brain to comprehend that.

yeah people in this neighborhood are SO cliche when it comes to cars. oh wait, the people in this neighborhood are supposedly anti-car, no?!

They offered to throw in the minis in front of the place but then I found out they weren’t the “S” versions, and I backed outta the deal.
Well you are right, fuplease. There is a good lot of garbage renovations from the midcentury and on in the UWS, thankfully most of the facades remain intact. I just had the luck to stay in one with gorgeous detail on all the floors.
