At the height of Covid-19, we undertook a project to overhaul our outdoor space (which at that point was nothing but mega-weeds and a haven for carpenter bees). The goal was to create a chic and inviting environment so family and friends could safely unwind🥂 . With the help of master landscaper, @dimastery, we decided on a black and white theme (think French Riviera vibes) to make all the beautifully-curated plantings pop. Can’t wait to watch the garden bloom through the seasons 🌸 🌱 . @wallsandwires helped rescue the back of our house from a chipping yellow to a freshly painted white. He gave new life to moldy railings by power washing and then coating them in black paint. He also added smart outdoor lights that are controlled from an app, and speakers shaped like rocks hidden among the plants! 🎶 💡 . @victorian_renaissance built the horizontal fence, which became the base and backdrop for the rest of the project, especially after it was stained a bold black 🛠 🖤 . @chilewich, the chicest textile brand, sent two stylish and durable woven outdoor floor rugs for the deck and yard, each of which added warmth to this “open air living room.” No shoes required! 👣 . Finally, @roomandboard provided the white, round Adara fire table, which — when not turned on to add literal warmth to the space — doubles as a comfortable, aluminum coffee table...and is now frequently covered in wine glasses 🔥🍷 Thank you for following this backyard project!

They don’t make rooms like this anymore. Carroll Gardens—now for rent. DM for details.

2102 Albemarle Terrace is the 👑 jewel of one of the most unique Historic Districts in NYC, defined by a collection of just 32 residences built in the early 20th-century Colonial Revival style. Positioned prominently on the corner, this is the largest home in the bunch, and one of the very few to offer the rare luxury of private parking (both a garage and driveway!)@loubel23 and @superjoe_1 just brought this 💎 to market. Excited to give you an exclusive look inside! The townhome has been meticulously reimagined by @mybeautifulhomedesigns to honor its architectural heritage. The restoration thoughtfully preserves original millwork, moldings, and beautifully maintained wood casement windows (each carefully restored, repaired, and weatherproofed) while layering in contemporary finishes that create a timeless aesthetic. 🗝️ The parlor level is grounded by elegant herringbone flooring, while the remainder of the home features original hardwood floors throughout. Upon entry, a gracious foyer leads to a formal living room adorned with original built-ins and a fireplace. Opposite, a formal dining room connects to a luxury kitchen. This level also offers a powder room and direct access to an large backyard. 🌳 The second floor features two almost 20-foot-wide bedrooms with generous closet space, along with a full bath. A third bedroom opens to what Landmarks has referred to as a “sleeping porch”—a flexible space ideal for a bedroom, home office, or playroom. 🤓 The top floor is dedicated entirely to the primary suite, with an oversized bath, a dressing room, and an additional bedroom, along with the convenience of a washer/dryer. 🛁 The finished basement adds versatility, complete with a second laundry area, a half bath, ample storage, and additional living space including a bonus room & a wet bar area. In total, the home offers five bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths. ❤️ 📸 by @hayleyellenday LINK IN BIO

Limestones have a special place in my heart (live in one)…so when I see a really great example hit the market, I take notice! 1180 Union Street is a 20-foot-wide Crown Heights limestone with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, nearly 4,000 square feet (including outdoor space), and the kind of character-meets-modern-finish renovation that balances the soul of a historic home with today’s lifestyle needs. Luxurious kitchen, private deck, extra-deep backyard, amazing light, and a soothing color palate - it’s got it all. 👌 Listed by @jsa_sells_nyc and @lovetricialee 📸 by @alejandroleonphoto LINK IN BIO #brooklynlimestone #crownheightsbrooklyn #brownstoneliving #historicbrooklyn #nycbrownstone

100 6th Avenue in North Park Slope is where Brownstone grandeur shines. Timeless original details, luxury upgrades, and the kind of Italianate Brooklyn elegance that never misses the mark.  @sarah___sawyer has just listed this rare 19th century two-family brownstone, so here is an exclusive look inside. This 20-foot-wide townhouse includes seven Italianate marble mantels, four working fireplaces, original oak floors with mahogany inlay; all on a rare oversized 105’ deep lot. The home is currently configured as a 5-bedroom owners triplex plus a 1-bedroom on the garden level. The home also includes a semi-finished basement adding extra square footage including multiple restored brick arches. ❤️ 📸 by @shannondupre LINK TO LISTING IN BIO #parkslope #brooklynbrownstone #nyctownhouse #brownstoneliving #historichomes
