The basement apartment in my 20 x 45 brownstone is currently a 1 bedroom. I sometimes see 2 bedroom floor-through rental units in brownstones advertised. I’m guessing that the only way to reconfigure the layout to achieve this without the second bedroom being a closet is to remove the load-bearing hallway wall and the stair up to the parlor level of the main portion of the house. Has anyone in the forum done this and, if so, would they be willing to show me, “in the flesh”, the resulting configuration?

Thanks,

John Ife
