Full of raw materials and Scandinavian style, this Bed-Stuy townhouse is asking $3.9M

By Dana Schulz

Built in 1879, this Italianate rowhouse in Bed-Sty "has been meticulously restored while incorporating a modern flair," as the listing describes. TBo architects oversaw a rear extension that extends to all four floors, while Townhouse Therapy renovated the interiors. Now on the market for $3,895,000, the nearly 4,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home has unique industrial bones, including natural wood tones almost everywhere you look, original brick walls, and exposed concrete columns and beams. But to soften the look, the decor has a modern, Scandinavian feel. There's also an income-generating garden-level apartment.

For under $900K, these Jersey City condos add modern touches to a historic Victorian home

By Dana Schulz

McGinley Square is perhaps one of Jersey City's most interesting neighborhoods. It's full of 19th-century row houses, Victorian homes, and Art Deco retail spaces, and it's close to the PATH and Light Rail at Journal Square, as well as to the incredible 270-acre Lincoln Park. The real estate opportunities are great, too. Take, for example, this two-unit Victorian home at 41 Bentley Avenue. The three-bedroom homes, listed for $859,000 and $889,000, are full of architectural details like stained glass windows and cozy rooms in the turrets, but they also have been completely updated for modern living. The house also features an idyllic wrap-around porch and garage parking.

In Carroll Gardens, this unique $6M home was originally Brooklyn’s first kindergarten

By Dana Schulz

Two-and-a-half years ago, the former schoolhouse at 236 President Street in Carroll Gardens was designated an official NYC landmark for its Beaux-Arts architecture, connection to local immigrant history, and the fact that it was Brooklyn's first kindergarten. The designation came after the then single-family home was slated for demolition to make way for a condo but neighbors and preservationists rallied to save it. Now, the five-bedroom, nearly 4,000-square-foot home (it's currently configured as a two-family residence) is on the market for $5,995,000.

By Dana Schulz

A mansion, four "barns," a resort-like pool and jacuzzi, a full basketball court--these are just the main attractions at this $5,900,000 property located in Holland Township, New Jersey. The 86-acre estate feels like it's been plucked out of the Napa Valley, with its Tuscan style and rolling grounds. We're pretty certain it doesn't come with the insane sports car and classic car collections (there's even a retro mechanic shop!), but for the price of a Tribeca loft, this is quite the home.

The 10 best plants for bathrooms

Plants are an easy and inexpensive way to spruce up any room in a home, and this rings especially true in the bathroom where design choices typically don't involve much more than the color of one's bathmat. However, keeping greenery alive and flourishing in a room where temperatures can shift from cool and comfortable to hot and steamy in just minutes can be difficult. But don't be deterred from growing a green canopy above your shower. Ahead, 6sqft rounds up 10 robust plants that enjoy high humidity, warm temperatures, and bright or low light.

By Dana Schulz

It's not often you find a Craftsman-style home in the northeast, which is why we were so taken with this freestanding house in Hoboken. Located at 819 Hudson Street, a block full of beautiful historic homes, it was built in 1912 and has changed hands only three times since then. The current owner underwent an extensive two-year renovation that included a 2,000+ square-foot extension, which brings the house to a total of 5,200 square feet, six bedrooms, and a full-floor rec room. Plus, because it's on an oversized lot, the backyard is extra large.
