Advance tickets for self-guided tour, which will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., are available for $20 at a number of local establishments, including Brownstone Books at 409 Lewis Avenue and Bushbaby at 1197 Fulton Street. There’s also a home ownership workshop from 9 to 10:30 a.m. to provide people with advice about how to finance the purchase of a home in the area.

  1. House #7 – you guys were great. Loved seeing how you two interacted, you both had great smiles, and the pictures of you as a couple on your wedding day,etc. were touching. Love you story about the viking fridge, and the challenges it presented.

    You’re home was lovely, so thanks for letting us in.

  2. This thread, much like the ones on the Prospect Heights and Crown Heights house tours, really begs the question of whether this site isn’t just going to hell in a handbasket. Isn’t this meant to be a place for people who love brownstones? How do people have the nerve to post such bitchy comments after home-owners have thrown their houses open to be viewed by hundreds of strangers (and probably spent months previously finishing renovation projects, cleaning and polishing)? Really, get a life. Either you dig brownstones (from the mansions of the Brooklyn Heights promenade to the equally beloved but less opulent homes of PH, CH or BS) or you don’t. And if you don’t love these houses, why should I care about your real estate envy, silly (often racist) ideas about neighborhoods other than your own, or other generally nasty, small-minded attitudes? Get thee to CURBED!

    I adore the house tours and consider it a privilege and a pleasure to see inside private homes and to be able to walk the streets of a neighborhood I may not know and appreciate its architecture and community vibes.

  3. Putnamdenizen, I regret not getting the chance to meet you during the tour. We were house #7. You gave me a ton of advice on dealing with my “former tenant situation” back in April. As you can see, it all worked out and we have replaced the “Tenants from Hell” with the “Tenants from Heaven “!

    The tour was amazing, even being a part of the tour was amazing. So many wonderful people coming through our home, just gave us an abundance of energy! As a “work in progress”, the mini-tour gave us great ideas for our back garden, and maybe even a suana.

    And I can’t say enough about the weather. What a great time.
