This $4M Park Slope Passive House is as green and efficient as it is chic and livable

Though it would be an enviable Brooklyn townhouse even without the certification, this unique  home at 331 8th Street in Park Slope got a complete Passive House retrofit in 2013. It’s a shining 21st century energy-efficient example; better yet, the home’s many period details were preserved. Asking $4 million, the 3,675 square-foot three-story home has wood molding, original doors and slate mantles across four bedrooms, three full baths, a powder room and a fully finished basement. A total of four outdoor spaces multiplies what we love about townhouse living.

On the parlor floor are a modern, elegant dining room and a sleek galley kitchen.

Off the living room you’ll find access to an upper deck and garden.

The third floor is home to a bright and spacious master bedroom with a colorful custom-designed en suite bath.

Beneath a playroom on the floor above, two small children’s bedrooms await with views to the upper deck and green roof.

Entertain or get some sun on the lower deck or ascend a spiral staircase to the top deck for dazzling city views.

Back down on the garden floor are a light-fillled guest room, a full marble bath and a spacious study. A lower porch with a hot tub opens onto a garden landscaped with SYNLawn artificial grass and many flowering (genuine) plants. Even the home’s cellar is ready for optimal living with a kid-friendly soft cork floor and storage space.
