At Home in the Slope
Briefly

In the late 1980s, a couple moved from Manhattan to a grand row house in Brooklyn's Park Slope after seeking new experiences as empty-nesters. They were captivated by the home's distinct architecture, including a peaked roofline and intricate woodwork during their first viewing. Initially hesitant, they returned after withdrawing their first offer due to the stock market crash. Their commitment to restoring the house flourished alongside Brooklyn’s vibrant old-house revival community, leading to rewarding connections with local preservationists and skilled tradespeople.
