182-year-old Brooklyn Heights Home Comes With Award-winning Backyard, for $9.75m

This Federal style townhouse in Brooklyn Heights is asking a whooping $9.75 million. Originally built around 1825, the five bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home has been revamped by designer Tom Scheerer to combine its classic zest with modern convenience. The massive chef’s kitchen includes a full size wine fridge and a separate wet bar. There are several fireplaces, a library, powder room, office space, and “award-winning” outdoor spaces, originally designed by the late Alice Ireys (the landscape architect behind the New York Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Museum, and others)
