Brooklyn Brownstone — style reimagining

Style

Brooklyn Brownstone

Inspired by Workstead, Elizabeth Roberts, BarlisWedlick· no affiliation

Park Slope brownstone restored — original moldings, modern open kitchen, garden access.

• Preserve the original parlor-floor moldings, mantel, and ceiling medallion — restoration, not replacement.
• Garden-floor kitchen opening to a rear yard with bluestone patio.
• Original wide-plank pine or quarter-sawn oak floors restored, not refinished to a glossy high-gloss.
• Soft-painted custom millwork — Farrow & Ball Drop Cloth, Cornforth White, never high-gloss.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
