146 St. Johns Place – Park Slope Perfection
Timeless brownstone elegance meets modern refinement in this 20’-wide, fully gut-renovated two-family townhouse, ideally situated on one of Park Slope’s most picturesque landmarked blocks. Reimagined with no expense spared, 146 St. Johns Place blends original 19th-century architectural details with sophisticated design and top-of-the-line finishes across over 5,100 square feet, including a finished cellar and rear extensions on both the parlor and garden levels. This is Brooklyn brownstone living at its finest.
The sun-filled parlor floor sets the tone with meticulously restored mahogany millwork, herringbone-patterned white oak flooring, ornate plasterwork, and soaring ceilings. The gracious front parlor flows through original mahogany pocket doors into a formal dining room anchored by a gas fireplace, custom display cabinetry, and generous pantry storage. A bespoke jewel-box powder room adds a refined touch. At the rear, a spectacular chef’s kitchen features a massive bookmatched marble island, custom cabinetry, and a full suite of Miele appliances—including a six-burner cooktop, built-in espresso machine, speed oven, warming drawer, and dual dishwashers. Floor-to-ceiling accordion NanaWall doors open to a private terrace, with a remote-controlled awning, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The full-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering a spacious bedroom, a large walk-in closet (plumbed for a future wet bar), and a spa-like bathroom with radiant heated floors, a deep soaking tub, double vanity, and a gas fireplace, all with access to another private terrace and remote-controlled awning—an indulgence rarely seen in townhouse living.
Up the restored staircase, past a statement pier mirror and under a dramatic skylight, the top floor offers two large bedrooms (one with en-suite bath), a third flexible bedroom or office, a full hall bath, and a laundry room.
The garden level is equally impressive. A large media room with radiant-heated Moroccan tile and a built-in wet bar opens to the tranquil backyard through floor-to-ceiling accordion-style NanaWall doors. This level also includes a second powder room, additional laundry room, and abundant storage. Below, the finished cellar offers a multiuse rec room with original arched brick columns, generous ceiling height, AV closet, and additional storage. The garden-level one-bedroom apartment—perfect for guests, in-laws, or income—has been renovated to the same exacting standard, with a full kitchen, dishwasher, and in-unit washer/dryer.
Every major system has been upgraded as part of a meticulous multi-year renovation: seven zones of A/C, six zones of Buderus heating with concealed cast iron radiators, all-new electric and plumbing, 21 landmark-approved Lepage windows, a new roof, skylights, and hydraulic roof and basement hatches. Additional features include a surround sound system, radiant heat throughout key areas, gas fireplaces, drip irrigation front and rear, and a Bulldog leak detection system for added peace of mind.
Just two blocks from the 2/3 and B/Q trains, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza—and surrounded by the best of Park Slope dining, shopping, and culture—146 St. Johns Place is a rare opportunity to own a triple-mint brownstone where thoughtful design, unmatched quality, and location converge.
