This 2019 Brownstoner open houses story has some info about 47 Chauncey. At one point, it was gutted shell with two marble mantels. Then it was renovated and went on the market in 2019. I wonder if any of the houses in the row still have their original moldings and other details. https://www.brownstoner.com/real-estate-market/brooklyn-open-houses-for-sale-crown-heights-greenpoint-bed-stuy-gravesend-historic-district/

47 Chauncey St. is for sale now (February 2026) for $1.499 million. It has sadly undergone an atrocious and garish renovation. I've had my eye on this property for years and would love to restore it.
