Editor\u2019s note: Welcome to the Brownstone Boys Reno, a reader renovation diary about renovating a brownstone in Bed Stuy. See the first one here<\/a>. They also blog at www.thebrownstoneboys.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living in a historic brownstone or townhouse in Brooklyn or beyond is the dream of many people. The original woodwork, beautiful plaster moldings, grand staircases and iconic stoops on tree-lined streets are too seductive to just admire from afar. <\/p>\n

You might have come to the conclusion that the best path forward to having one of your own is to buy a fixer-upper and transform it into your dream home. Seeing the price tag of available listings is pretty straightforward, but what about the renovation? How much does it cost to restore those beautiful 100-plus-year-old original features, create spaces for modern living, and repair the home to last another 100 years? It\u2019s difficult to understand whether the purchase price is feasible without also understanding the other side of the equation. <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> Single Page<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
