Here We Go - Our Offer Was Accepted

In NYC real estate, an accepted offer seems to mean there is still a long way to go.  Nonetheless, we are heading down a path to owning a brownstone, after our previous two attempts didn't pain out.  This one is located in the southeastern corner of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, a few blocks away from the Pratt Institute. More and more interesting businesses are coming to the area, and it's only a short walk to Fort Greene.

This place has been gut renovated.  We liked that this means we don't need to endure renovations right way and don't need to replace basic things like heat, electric, and plumbing.  The downside is the finish choices are certainly not ones we would have made.  Ultimately we would like to redo the floors, the kitchen, and the bath to better suit our tastes.

 Living room on the parlor floor: we will replace the floors with something more historic and panel over the exposed brick.

Kitchen on the garden level: we would like to make it look less modern. We will likely replace the lighting, change the cabinet ardware and replace the countertop and backsplash.
