Now that NBA legend Steve Nash has been fired from his gig coaching the Brooklyn Nets, the Canadian-born filmmaker and philanthropist has listed his charming 19th-century Brooklyn townhouse for $6.25 million.
Nash bought the 20-foot-wide Cobble Hill home on Amity Street, between Hicks and Henry streets, for $4.99 million in November 2020 — down from its $5.5 million asking price.
It originally asked $6.49 million in 2019.
The five-bedroom, 4½-bathroom home is 4,200 square feet and comes with a custom curved plaster staircase, a landscaped garden — and a private roof deck with sunset and city skyline views.
The red brick exterior features a stoop that opens to a parlor floor with an open living and dining space, plus an open chef’s kitchen.
There’s also formal living room with an original marble fireplace mantel and a full-floor main bedroom with a walk-in closet that leads to a spa-like bath — as well as room for a nursery, a dressing room or a home office.
Design details include wide-plank white oak floors, exposed white brick, custom built-ins, plus modern steel casement doors and windows along the garden and parlor’s rear glass wall. A finished cellar can also be used as a playroom or a home gym.
The Nets’ general manager, Sean Marks, fired Nash last November and at the time said it was a difficult move, especially since Nash — an eight-time NBA All-Star — was a former teammate whom Marks had hired to coach the team in September 2020. But the Nets were playing with a stunning lack of grace on and off the court — culminating in Kyrie Irving’s public promotion of an anti-Semitic film, and his initial refusal to apologize, before his February trade to the Dallas Mavericks.
The listing brokers, Ravi Kantha and Matthew Lesser of Leslie J. Garfield, declined to comment.
