Boerum Hill歴史的なブラウンストーン、すべての地下鉄に近い、並木道

We have lived in the house since our daughter was born and now spend summers at our farmhouse in France. The house is filled with art - mostly from Roger's work as a sculptor but also from artist friends. We both work at home - Roger's studio is below our garden apartment and my office is upstairs.

We have witnessed the transformation of Brooklyn and our neighborhood - Boerum Hill - since moving here 30 years ago. At the time, it was very mixed - with mostly artists and antique-dealers buying properties to renovate. Thirty years later there are still some of us left! but mostly, the neighborhood is well-heeled, working families, and still creative/tech types - authors and even celebrities! We fell in love with this house because of its incredible original detail and its south-facing garden - we are only the third owners since 1858! - so very little of the house was changed. (Except for air-conditioning!)

What we have always loved about Boerum Hill is its beautiful houses, trees and gardens - which give it a very quiet feel - and at the same time, its proximity to the excitement of Manhattan, shops and restaurants on Smith Street, and easy access to all other parts of Brooklyn.
