Prospect Heights Siblings

A young family purchased this narrow Williamsburg rowhouse knowing it needed everything — floors sagging six inches out of level, a facade hidden behind aluminum siding, and an interior in full gut condition. What it had was good bones and enough potential to make the work worthwhile.The houses in the row had each been altered over the years with coatings and cladding that quietly made things worse. We stripped ours back — repointing, selectively replacing brick, and applying a consolidating coating that stabilizes the masonry without concealing it.Inside, leveled floors, a heat pump system, and high-performance tilt-turn windows with larger unobstructed openings updated the envelope and brought more natural light throughout. A rebuilt central stair with a large skylight above and slatted walls draws daylight through the full height of the house. At the rear, a glass door opens the kitchen directly to the yard.
