Open House Picks: Best of Old and New
Our four Open House Picks today offer the best of both worlds: They all have lots of beautiful 19th century detail plus plenty of modern upgrades where it counts. Of course, great looks and functionality together in one package doesn’t come cheap. The least expensive of the bunch, on a very nice block of Macon Street in Bed Stuy, is $1,449,000….
Our four Open House Picks today offer the best of both worlds: They all have lots of beautiful 19th century detail plus plenty of modern upgrades where it counts.
Of course, great looks and functionality together in one package doesn’t come cheap. The least expensive of the bunch, on a very nice block of Macon Street in Bed Stuy, is $1,449,000.
They hail from a variety of neighborhoods, all known for their great 19th century brownstones: Park Slope, Bed Stuy, and Prospect Lefferts Gardens. (The latter listing is located in coveted Lefferts Manor, a landmarked enclave of single family houses.)
Our Park Slope pick, by the way, has some interesting features you don’t see everywhere, such as a mural in a children’s room.

Thanks for all of your comments. We love the lively discussion! We just wanted to clarify a couple of things so that no one has to wonder how we’re doing things.
We’d like to first assure you that the main reason this post has not been published is because we are transitioning, which means new staff, new tools and less time. We’ve done our own assessment of the editorial and this particular post just needs some TLC in order to make it more useful. This information will be found on the site in some form in the future. Click-Through Rates were not taken into consideration in anyway. Click-Through Rates don’t play a role in editorial decisions because generally they just aren’t as relevant as they used to be.
We would also like to share that we hear the concerns about the ads and editorial “downsizing” on Brownstoner. Please be assured that new efforts are forthcoming on all fronts, including editorial. We’re simply putting tools and staff in place to make it happen. We’re not taking things away without regards to replacing them or trying to make room for more ads. The changes simply take time to implement.
Cate is aware of not only what is happening with editorial before it happens, she also has input on things as small as this response, so no one is “towing a company line”. We’re all working together and will keep doing so.
Lastly while we understand where everyone is coming from, the perception of BlankSlate as a corporate overlord is a bit of an over reach. As many of you know we worked with Jonathan for years on Brownstoner, we too are aware of its past. It is our desire to make it all it can be, that will mean changes, some perceived as bad and others perceived as good, but none of them will be done out of some need to make Brownstoner more corporate.
As long as the comments remain respectful, as most of these have been, we want more dialogue, not less. At times our tactics help dialogue and other times they don’t, we’re learning. If you have suggestions continue to let us know. It may not always work out, but we will always listen. Now that we have community managers in place to keep in touch, we look forward to being part of more conversations.
If you ever want to ask a question directly, email us at communitymanager@brownstoner.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Missing 6 months later too! that was my favorite.
This site is no longer a resource/community – it has turned into just one big advertising machine. Don’t blame Cate – she has to tow the party line to keep her job. As soon as I heard about the acquisition I knew it was all downhill from there.
Brownstoner lacks heart and soul it once had. It is now just a real estate mag-a-log of some sorts. I also used to read every day. now I come just once in a while brooklyn pre-takover.
me too. Bring John Butler back. this place is on the downhill.
OHP6ML was a great – albeit unscientific – way of keeping track of the housing market. Such a strong feature, involving minimal effort. It just doesn’t make sense taking something this established out. Even replaced with 10 new features which will take effort and time to build out. Oh well.
You’re taking out key features, such as OHP6ML, without introducing anything new. This is the definition of downsizing.
