Columbia Heights Brownstone

Kitchen with natural wood cabinetry, a white island and marble backsplash, restored historic crown molding, and three pink barstools at the island.

Located on a prominent block near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, this historic brownstone had much intact historic detail on the interiors. Our goals included preserving and highlighting this detail by restoring it and keeping the rest of the interiors clean and modern.
