Wood and steel collaborate to striking effect in this Bed-Stuy brownstone<\/a>, renovated by the design-build duo behind the Brownstone Boys<\/a>. Currently on the market for $2.95 million with Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/a>, the house maintains its woody period allure while adding new, highly functional bathrooms and a dug-out basement gym.<\/p>\n

The 20-foot-wide 1880 brownstone sits at the end of a tree-lined block in Brooklyn<\/a>, opening to soaring ceilings and miles of antique wood detailing.<\/p>\n

The designers brought in custom walnut millwork, bespoke British radiators, Fireclay tile and bold wallpapers \u2014\u00a0like Sheila Bridges\u2019 Harlem Toile. The chef\u2019s kitchen opens onto a deep wildflower garden and features Reform<\/a> cabinetry, a custom concrete island and terrazzo counters by Concrete Collaborative.<\/p>\n

The full-floor primary suite upstairs has its own fireplace and walk-through dressing room, plus an elaborate en suite and private office space. Three additional bedrooms share a bathroom upstairs. And everyone has access to the basement gym and bathroom with its radiant-heated floors.<\/p>\n

Colour is used liberally throughout the living spaces \u2014\u00a0the ombr\u00e9-painted stair risers are a case in point. Yet painted features are balanced out by warm whites, reclaimed chevron floors and chic steel hardware, all speaking to the home\u2019s facade.<\/p>\n
