"It's safe to say we touched almost everything. We totally reworked the stairs. We moved the kitchen into what had been the dining room. We replaced the floors on the parlor level and restored the original Lincrusta wall covering. Not to mention installing a new heating and cooling system, replacing all the old windows with insulated ones, and designing all-new baths, along with myriad tweaks."
"The early 20th century home has the exterior charm of a wraparound porch, while the interior boasts an intact inglenook, wood floors, stained glass, a pier mirror, and more period flourishes."
"This Bed Stuy row house has attractive details in each unit, with plaster ornamentation, mantels, moldings, interior shutters, and wood floors."
Brooklyn's housing market showcases several notable properties this week. A Midwood Park Colonial Revival home priced at $1.75 million features original architectural elements including an inglenook, wraparound porch, and stained glass. A Prospect Heights co-op offers $1.195 million with modern amenities like in-unit laundry and a private terrace. A Park Slope limestone row house underwent extensive renovation transforming it from two-family to single-family use, with restored staircases, new kitchen placement, and period wall coverings. A Bed Stuy row house configured as two duplexes asks $2.245 million and retains plasterwork, mantels, and original moldings. These listings appeal to buyers seeking historic character combined with modern updates.
