Two Manhattan gallerists, one six-story Brooklyn townhouse—you'd think it would be a match made in heaven. But the home's current owners—his Madison Avenue gallery specializes in Surrealist and Modern art, her company looks out for new talent and helps clients build contemporary art collections—bought the house in 2015 for $4 million, and they've just listed it for $6.5M. 124 Congress Street is one of nine units that comprise the Morris Adjmi-designed Cobble Hill Townhouses. Completed in 2014, the development features a mix of restored and newly-constructed homes. With four bedrooms, a private garden and a roof terrace with Manhattan views—but no elevator—the home's interiors were clearly designed by a pro, but they're surprisingly low-key given the sellers' contemporary art milieu.
