Townhouse broker Ravi Kantha is listing his own historic Brooklyn Heights townhouse for $5.65 million, down from its initial $5.99 million ask.
Kantha, known on social media as “the Townhouse Guy,” recently sold NBA legend/coach Steve Nash’s Brooklyn townhouse, as Gimme Shelter reported.
Kantha’s own four-story red brick home, on Joralemon Street, dates to 1846.
He bought for $2.62 million in 2019.
The historic home comes with four bedrooms, three baths and was recently gut-renovated by the architecture firm Baxt Ingui.
Design details include wide-plank white oak floors, custom cabinetry and lots of storage.
There’s a parlor floor, accessed by the stoop entry, and a living room at the front of the townhouse with a custom marble fireplace.
The home is anchored by a floating stairwell.
Behind it is a chef’s kitchen and a deck for outdoor dining.
Stairs also lead down to a south-facing garden.
A main bedroom suite overlooks the colorful Greek Revival homes on Joralemon Street.
The top floor has additional bedrooms and a skylight, while the garden floor boasts exposed beams and a second living room that can also work as a playroom.
There’s also a gym, a wine refrigerator and a mud room.
Kantha, at Leslie Garfield, is also the listing broker — repping the home alongside colleagues Matthew Lesser, Cameron LeCates and Tori Landon.
