Kitchens tend to get all the attention, but in these homes, it’s the staircases that really stand out. From gravity-defying spirals to sweeping historic stunners, each one does more than get you from one level to the next—it brings the whole space to life. Whether bold, dramatic, or unexpectedly elegant, the staircases in these six Brown Harris Stevens listings don’t just make a connection—they make an entrance.

81 White Street - Apartment #PHE

If a staircase could have main-character energy, this one would absolutely steal the scene. With its sleek steel frame, hardwood treads, and a 27-foot skylight overhead, it’s an architectural centerpiece that commands attention. This Tribeca duplex blends industrial edge with gallery-like refinement, and the staircase is the sculptural thread tying it all together.

15 East 63rd Street - Upper East Side, NYC

Some staircases are practical. This one is pure theater. A sweeping marble statement with a copper-balconied landing, it turns the act of going upstairs into a moment. And yes—there’s an elevator. But with a staircase like this, why would you take it?

1131 Sasco Hill Road - Fairfield, Connecticut

There’s something about this staircase—the curve, the slim black railing, the bold black runner. It feels more high-end boutique than coastal estate. It’s subtle but striking, with the kind of presence you’d expect to find in a gallery—or maybe in the old Barneys in Beverly Hills.

97 Pecksland Road - Greenwich, Connecticut

The staircases do a lot of the talking here. Two of them rise in perfect symmetry from a checkerboard marble floor, with a chandelier above and gold-framed mirrors lining the walls. It’s dramatic, traditional, and impossible to ignore.

11 Round Hill Club Road - Greenwich, Connecticut

The curved staircase here isn’t just a feature—it’s a moment. Set against marble floors and soft paneling, with a chandelier overhead, it gives the whole space a quiet sense of drama. Every detail feels thoughtful and refined, without being showy.

1305 Albemarle Road - Prospect Park South, New York

Some staircases are all show. This one tells a story. Restored to its original charm, the staircase with its original newel post and a bold red runner fits seamlessly into one of Brooklyn’s most architecturally significant homes. It’s a detail that speaks to the care and respect behind the home’s preservation.
