237 Front Street, TH

A rare 21-foot-wide Early Greek Revival row house constructed by Henry Taber, this exceptional residence underwent a meticulous, year-long ground-up renovation in 2021. Spanning approximately 3,570 square feet of living, the property is configured as an owner’s triplex with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, complemented by a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath garden apartment with private entrance. Historic character has been carefully preserved while introducing a comprehensive suite of modern systems, finishes, and smart-home technology. Throughout the home, original architectural elements have been thoughtfully restored, including seven working wood-burning fireplaces, the original mahogany handrail, and beautifully restored staircases. Enhancements include wide-plank white oak flooring, Marvin double-paned low-E windows, sound-dampening walls, custom built-in cabinetry, solid brass hardware, Kohler bath fixtures, and Duravit in-wall toilets—each detail selected to balance authenticity with refined luxury. The parlor level is designed for both entertaining and everyday living, offering a sun-filled living room, elegant dining area, and a chef’s kitchen anchored by premium appliances. The kitchen is outfitted with a 36” Wolf range and oven, 36” Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, 48” under-counter wine and appetizer refrigeration, Bosch dishwasher and built-in microwave, Perrin & Rowe faucet, pantry storage, and a garbage disposal - creating a space that is as functional as it is visually striking. The dining room comfortably seats twelve and opens directly to an expansive terraced garden and adjacent powder room. Above, the second floor features a cozy den with built-ins and a fireplace, flanked by two bedroom suites with en-suite baths and a dedicated laundry room, while the top floor is reserved entirely for a serene primary suite with a skylit bedroom, spa-level bath, walk-in closet, and access to a private roof terrace. The home is fully integrated with Google Home and Sonos, featuring Cat 6e wiring, mesh WiFi with USB outlets, smart doorbell, Nest Protect smoke and CO2 monitoring, Lutron smart lighting, Nest thermostats, Samsung smart washer and dryer, and ceiling-integrated Sonos speakers. Mechanical systems include hydronic radiant floor heat across six zones in the main residence, cast-iron radiators in the garden apartment, Mitsubishi split-ducted and wall-mounted central air systems, and a new TPO roof. The garden apartment offers a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and comfortable living space. Ideally situated in the Vinegar Hill Historic District, the home enjoys close proximity to Brooklyn Bridge Park, Wegmans, Vinegar Hill House, and the full array of DUMBO dining, fitness, and cultural amenities, with the F and A trains just blocks away.
