‘Home Improvement,’ à la Brooklyn Heights
Eye On Real Estate
Tool Time!
Preservation and restoration contractors are busy, busy, busy in that most august of landmarked brownstone neighborhoods, Brooklyn Heights, where a plethora of renovation projects is underway following recent high-ticket home sales.
Some renovations of these treasured historic houses are being done by purchasers who want to remodel their homes to suit their personal aesthetics — within the boundaries set forth by city landmarking laws — or repair venerable building façades.
Other renovations are being carried out by developers who paid big bucks for the houses and hope to profit through resales or rentals when the work is finished.
