New House Rising at 16 4th Street

The view from Smith down Fourth to Bond is one of the lovliest view in Brooklyn. The industrial landscape might not say “home,” but the buildings at the bottom of the hill are amazing. There’s a lot happening on this street (I walk down it daily to my office), and I would be more than happy to live along here. I have no idea what the single family home will look like, but I hope they put some effort into the facade. There’s a really love old carriage house across the street from that. There’s also work going on in the unusual lot just down the street. It used to be a run down garage in front of a small house, and now ia new structure is going up.
