Boerum Hill beauty asks $3.495M
Greek revival boasts high ceiling and pocket doors
BY STEPHEN ZACKS
The late Greek Revival
brick row house at
160 Hoyt St. in Boerum
Hill has come down in
price since it last appeared
on the market
in 2015, but it’s looking
prettier than before with
its updated furnishings.
The house has impressive
foliate crown moldings
in the parlors and
original marble mantels,
and the white paint and
pared-down bookshelves
give it an airy feel.
The four stories are
confi gured as a triplex
over a garden fl oor rental.
The front parlor has impressively
high ceilings,
an ornate medallion that
matches the crown moldings,
recent built-ins, a
typical Italianate marble
mantel and pocket doors.
The latter lead to the
rear parlor, which is
similarly decked out. It’s
used as a dining room,
with the kitchen running
along the side. Two sets of
French doors lead to an
attractive wood deck with
steps down to a grassy,
ivy-walled garden.
The kitchen has an
island with swirly granite
counters and upper
IKEA-style cabinets that
give it a galley orientation
while maintaining a
greater openness.
Upstairs on the bedroom
fl oors are more
built-ins and typical
Greek Revival period
marble mantels. The
master bedroom suite
spans the third fl oor
and includes a large
rear bedroom with an
en suite bathroom, guest
bedroom or offi ce in the
front, walk-in closet and
laundry room.

has been updated
with green and white tile
with a checkerboard patterned
border and a marble
counter on a modern
vanity. The top fl oor has
three more bedrooms and
another full bathroom.
(The house has three
bathrooms in total.)
The garden fl oor
rental is not pictured,
but the fl oor plan shows
a nicely laid out one-bedroom
apartment with
two mantels, a semiopen
kitchen, and four
closets.
160 Hoyt St. is in the
Boerum Hill Historic
District, part of a row
of four built in 1852 by
Brooklyn carpenter
James Miller. Its Greek
Revival facade has its
original recessed door
surround with pilasters
and narrow lights
on each side, and dentil
molding under a transom.
Later Neo-Grec alterations
include the
brownstone door and
window hoods. It has a
bracketed cornice and
arched Italianate iron
railings.
The building has
been in the hands of the
same family for at least
18 years. It’s on the market
now for $3.495 million,
with Jason Crew
and Sephrah Towbin of
Corcoran handling the
listing. Is it a good deal?
