Cost for converting a 4 family to 3

We are looking at buying a four family brownstone and converting the garden and parlor to our apartment. In order to do this we will want to add a private staircase to connect the garden to the parlor floors, as well as a new kitchen. Any idea how much this would cost? Not looking for a high end renovation.
Thanks...

Why bother down grading? you can configure the house any way you want. You'd only have an issue if you wanted to go from a 3 to a 4. You could have a 3 family and live in it all by your lonesome and it wouldn't cause one ounce of a problem.

Don't waste your time and more importantly, your MONEY

I believe you are taxed differently/accessed differently on a 3 as opposed to a 4. look into it.

Thanks for your comments. I wasn't clear with the post. I would keep the property as a 4 family. My concern is how expensive and risky it is to add a staircase.
Thanks
