House Call: Brooklyn Heights Remodel
November 5th, 2007
Several readers requested more photos of Francesca’s Brooklyn Heights abode (see her kitchen). Located on a historic block in Brooklyn Heights, the brownstone was briefly occupied in the 1930s by Thomas Wolfe. In the seventies it was divided into a dozen warrenlike apartments. Recently, Francesca and Marc, with architect Steven Harris (stevenharrisarchitects.com) and designer Lucien Rees-Roberts (reesroberts.com), restored it to its former glory.
Below: Custom sofa through Interiors by George and Martha (718-789-3190); small 1940s club chairs from 1stdibs.com; Moon Table with mercury glass top and steel base by Ochre at ochre.net; Eames aluminum office chair from DWR; pair of glass chandeliers from Vince Mulford (vmulford.com) in Hudson, NY; Hollywood Regency Lucite lamps, try eBay or 1stdibs.com.
Below: the view toward the dining room:

Thank you for showing us these beautiful photos.
Aesthetically comfortable, and I’m sure it is a comfortable place to live in.
If possible, could you let me know where you got the desk near the window? It’s very close to what I’m looking for for a while…

I know you don’t appreciate readers comments unless they are pure and without irony, but I do like this posting. While the townhouse is pretty and the architects did a nice job, the photography is amazing.

Sublime.

Yes, sublime. I am in love with this house.
I have forgotten the name and manufacturer of the coffee table in the attic family room/ playroom; could you please share it?

The remodel is terrific. Obviously the windows have been replaced. Can you tell me the manufacturer? The black frames and design are perfect to redo our 1938 Bauhaus home. Thanks
