Homes like this aren’t just buildings. They’re stories that deserve to be told for generations. 🧱🛠️ Old things need to be restored or they’ll die. I’m still waiting on permits and working with trades to explore all options, but restoration is the goal. The plan is to reuse the original details, upgrade where needed, and make sure this home stands for another 180 years. I know some people will say, “Just leave it alone.” That’s a fair point, and I’ve had those conversations with people who understand what it really takes to preserve a place like this. My hope? That 180 years from now, someone walks into their 360-year-old home and says, “This owner really did it justice.” #restoration #tips #property #realestate #realestatedevelopment #newyorkcity #nyc #buy #buyingahome #project #developer #flooring #floor #hardwood #maintenance #craftsmanship #history #westvillage
