Development Notes

This narrow Clinton Hill brownstone was in total disrepair when we acquired it. At 14' wide from property line to property line, most prospective buyers were not interested as they worried that the interior spaces would be too constrained.

To address this concern, during design we grouped all of the bathrooms, mechanicals and kitchen in the middle of each floor. Combined with an open plan, this made for light and airy spaces on the cellar and parlor floors. It also allowed us to build generous sized bedrooms, each with full or even expanded closets, on the upper floors. Where possible, we strategically located rooms beneath skylights to bring the most light down in to the living spaces. Multiple offers resulted in sale at $1.225M.
