Our recent gut renovation blends historic preservation with contemporary luxury. The home honors its 19th-century craftsmanship by reintroducing architectural details like intricate moldings, a grand staircase, and elegant woodwork, while modernizing the space with a bespoke kitchen by Plain English, energy-efficient systems, and a discreetly integrated elevator. Advanced soundproofing measures were also incorporated to counter subway vibrations from nearby Joralemon Street, creating a tranquil interior. This thoughtful renovation resulted in 1 Sidney Place becoming the second most expensive home ever sold in Brooklyn at the time of sale in 2024.
