The New York Times 3.13.09

Homeowners Margaret and Frank Cusack witnessed the most recent transformation of Brooklyn from their brownstone on Hoyt Street in Boerum Hill. They bought their 4-story home in 1973 and have seen the neighborhood evolve just as they saw their own home transform through sweat equity and over 30 years of ongoing renovations and improvements...

The New York Times shares the creative couple's story and how they adapted their space to fit their evolving needs: Shrink or Expand to Fit.

Looks like a beautiful classic home by a real couple that will enjoy growing old in it together.

Great place, great people. Loved the NYT article. I can identify with this as we also renovated a ruin to create a comfortable living, working and guest welcoming space.

that's a lovely looking space. certainly a risky purchase for that neighborhood back in the 70's but i'm glad it paid off for them. although some stretches of hoyt freak me the fuck out even today.
