""Our renovation approach aimed to preserve these defining features-the parlor scale, grand stair volume, and large windows-while introducing modern conveniences for 21st-century living," said Eugene Colberg, Principal at Colberg Architecture."
"The home is fully electric, uses hemp insulation, and avoids gas and old chimney stacks to create a cleaner, healthier environment."
"Green tones and natural materials run throughout, inspired by the nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park-just a short walk down a cobblestone street."
"The backyard has been reconstructed with an 8-by-25-foot Ipe deck extension off the parlor, a bluestone patio."
The house at 39 Willow Place, built in 1850, has undergone a renovation that preserves its classic Greek Revival elements, including a red brick facade and dentil cornice. The renovation enhances the interior, maintaining features like large windows and marble fireplaces while adding modern conveniences. The layout now includes a flexible in-law suite and a finished cellar with a gym. Sustainability is emphasized with fully electric systems and hemp insulation. Personal touches from the owner, an artist, add character to the home.
