SHOP THE LISTING: Park Slope’s priciest townhouse is an $18M masterpiece of modern design

Not all big-ticket properties live up to their astronomical price tags, but the most expensive listing in Park Slope–a custom-engineered five-story townhouse at 535 1st Street on a prime landmarked block–is the very definition of no-expense-spared reconstruction. The five-bedroom residence, asking $18,000,000, was commissioned by the award-winning architecture and design firm Leroy Street Studio. Recently featured in Architectural Digest, this British Regency-style limestone mansion has been recreated with dramatic details like double-height entertaining levels and terraced, landscaped outdoor spaces, executed with flawless engineering skill and modern design expertise. The home would become Park Slope’s priciest townhouse on record if it sells for the asking price. If you love the interior design of this home, we’ve sourced a few key pieces that are identical or similar to the items in the listing photos. So you can get the look–without having to move.

30+ best wellness products to add to your self-care routine

Whether we actually are or not, Americans feel like we’re busier than ever. According to Daniela Wolfe, a burnout prevention, self-care, and work/life balance expert at Best D Life, we often feel like we have a never-ending to-do list and can’t take a moment to relax because there is always something that needs to get done. “However, by planning your time at home - just like you would at work - and creating a schedule and some structure around where your time goes, you can find productivity, success, and the freedom to have the space for fun and relaxation every day,” she says.

Sleep Week 2024: Here’s what you need to get better rest

Sleep Awareness Week is here. While it’s not always easy to get the right amount of rest and sleep, it’s important to do so. "Rest is an essential part of productivity because we’re not machines," says Amelia Pleasant Kennedy, CEO and founder of A Pleasant Solution. "Our brains and bodies need a break from the constant decisions and calculations we’re making throughout the day." Kennedy tells 6sqft that we mistakenly think there will be more time in the future to rest and sleep if we get a few more things done right now. "Yet this can be a trap that leads to overworking," she says. "The chores and work will wait, and you’ll be better prepared to tackle these activities once you’re refreshed."
