Around Brooklyn: Landmarks to review plans to renovate Heights home
Landmarks to review plans to renovate Heights home
Today, the Landmarks Preservation Commission is scheduled to review proposals to renovate a historic townhouse at 11 Cranberry St. in Brooklyn Heights, according to New York YIMBY. Designed by HS2 Architecture, the scope of proposed work is limited to the south-facing elevation at the rear of the building, which opens out into a private yard. The five-story single-family home was constructed in 1825 and includes six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half-bathroom. Today, the property is one of the most expensive rental homes in the borough with a monthly asking price of $29,000 as listed by leasing agent Corcoran. Renderings from the design team specify a partial removal and expansion of the exterior brick wall at the first and second floors, New York YIMBY said.
