232 Eighth Street

Built in 1925, this is a true freestanding townhouse — a detached single-family house on a block of attached row houses between Third and Fourth Avenues. Because nothing abuts it, the roughly 70-foot footprint carries windows on all four exposures, the kind of all-day light that almost never reaches a Brooklyn rowhouse interior.

Inside the nearly 5,000 square feet are five bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a primary suite opening to private terraces, and a lower-level spa with steam and sauna. Outside, a private driveway, a rear garage, and a separate studio outbuilding round out a property whose detached typology is genuinely scarce in this part of the Slope.
