"The days appear numbered for the striking butter yellow Italianate manse on Fort Greene's South Oxford Street, with developers applying to raze the attractive wood structure and replace it with a five-story apartment building."
"This Sunset Park row house hasn't changed hands in decades and there are some distinctly later 20th century renovations, like a basement rumpus room, along with original mantels, fretwork, and wall moldings. At 566 47th Street, the two-family sits within the Central Sunset Park Historic District."
"True, it had little counter space and an inefficient layout, which was especially irksome for the new homeowner, a professional chef. But more than that, said architect Justin Oh, a partner with Ericka Song in Studio Oh-Song, a young Bed Stuy-based architecture and design firm whose first completed Brooklyn project this is, the main aim of the redo was to "create a new identity that spoke to the client's tastes.""
A mid-19th-century butter-yellow Italianate manse on South Oxford Street is planned for demolition to make way for a five-story apartment building. A two-family Sunset Park limestone row house at 566 47th Street offers original mantels, fretwork, wall moldings, and a basement rumpus room, asking $1.595 million. A compact Sunset Park one-bedroom co-op on the third floor of 521 41st Street lists for $375,000 and features wood floors and picture rails. A Bed Stuy three-story townhouse renovation added a reimagined garden-level kitchen, 3.5 new baths, and a new staircase tailored to a professional chef's tastes. A top-ten roundup highlights interior design and renovations across borough homes for 2025.
