Retiring Macy’s CEO Jeff Gennette is poised to part ways with his picture-perfect Park Slope townhouse, listed for $6,995,000. According to records, the lavish 4,550-square-foot Brooklyn, NY, home was last sold in 2009 for $3.1 million.

Built in 1899 by New York architect-builder Peter J. Collins, the four-story, one-family building boasts five bedrooms and 4.5 baths. It’s nestled on a landmarked, tree-lined street just steps from Prospect Park.

Although this limestone abode was built over a century ago, its original details were recently restored, including stately parlor columns; a superb stained-glass skylight; and mahogany, maple, and cherry woodwork.

The property is configured as an upper triplex with a garden apartment—you can rent out the lower unit or keep it vacant for overnight visits from family and friends.

Love at first sight

Between its blue front door and unique carved-stone facade, this place is a knockout at first glance.

The wooden, glass-paned front door gives way to a fabulous foyer, outfitted with warm-wood wainscoting.

Further inside, there’s a light-filled living room with a floor-to-ceiling, mirrored fireplace and crown molding. And a separate sitting room has a curved ceiling, gas fireplace, and stained-glass bay window.

The elegantly wallpapered dining room leads into the gourmet kitchen, which features a marble-accented center island, light-wood flooring, and a pastel-green backsplash here. The space is exceptionally warm and welcoming.

An urban oasis

Take the carpeted stairs to the bedrooms, each more impressive than the last.

One bedroom has a Juliet balcony and an oversized walk-in closet, while another features a fireplace. The well-appointed bathrooms have eye-catching details, including soaking tubs and dual vanities.

Additionally, this address has a private bluestone patio garden, a recently renovated rooftop, an office, and an oversized basement for storage.

Gennette, a graduate of Stanford, has worked in the retail industry for decades. He’s been with Macy’s for more than 40 years, starting as an executive trainee in 1983, and has led the company as chief executive since 2017.
