An Interior Designer Spent 11 Years Slowly Renovating This 125-Year-Old Brooklyn Townhouse

When we saw this home - with its east-west exposures and windows that could be seen on both sides - we were immediately sold. It was the third house we looked at, and we were so lucky the owner accepted our offer. It was a very competitive moment for home sales in the neighborhood, and the fact we were able to make it happen felt like a dream.
