The 25 Best Houses in Brooklyn: A Highly Subjective List
421 Franklin Avenue, Bed-Stuy
This house dates back to the 1860s and evokes the neighborhood’s past in a way that the surrounding condos and housing developments just can’t. Plus, it’s a beautiful study in black and white with beautifully arcing double front doors and a gabled roof. It doesn’t hold landmark status, though, so visit it now! If there’s one thing this house bears testament to, it’s the ever-changing face of Brooklyn neighborhoods. Also, chickens. There are chickens.
