Finding their circa 1900 Brooklyn = brownstone home

After a gruelin= g year-long search, countless open houses, and one house lost in a bidding = war, we found our home. Remarkably, it had everything we wanted: it was a t= wo-family home in the heart of =E2=80=9Cbrownstone=E2=80=9D Brooklyn, with = original hardwood floors. Most of the houses in the neighborhood were built= circa 1900. Many we viewed did not stand the test of time, but this home h= ad been in the same family for years and did not show the usual wear-and-te= ar of a 100-year-old home. We were lucky, but it did need an old home renov= ation.

I was thankful = to stumble upon Sweeten early in my general contractor search. While I had owned a home before= , this was our first time doing a large-scale Brooklyn brownstone renovation that would require more than our DIY ski= lls could handle.

The layout of t= he house and our budget did not afford us a ton of options, so the renovati= on was straightforward. We focused on structural changes to change the flow= and use of the house. Thankfully, when we moved in, we were able to live i= n the garden floor apartment while we renovated the upper two floors where = we would eventually live.
