With Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker now moving their brood to Brooklyn Heights on the edge of Atlantic Avenue, where they are turning two adjoining townhomes into a single, 7,000 square foot mansion (though there are conflicting reports on this, according to Brooklyn Heights Blog)Â the Times now is putting its spotlight on Cobble Hill, which has become the hot spot for Manhattanites looking for grand single family homes.
The story tells of folks buying up brownstones and town homes that were built as single family abodes in the 1800s and early 1900s and then converted into multiple apartments, of which the new owners are now converting back to single family in grand, historic style, to better-than-original grandeur.
