BROWNSTONE VOYEUR is a joint project of OTBKB and CasaCARA taking you behind the facades of local homes to see how people really live in New York’s hippest borough.

IF YOU MISSED last spring’s Boerum Hill House and Garden Tour, here’s your chance to peek inside the tour’s best proof that a historic home can be lived in by a young family in a fresh and modern way.

When Aimee Landwehr and Keats Aiken, who now have a 7-month-old son, Cooper, bought the 1870 house in 2006, its plaster moldings, ceiling medallions, etched glass doors, and other elaborate Rococo Revival details were remarkably intact (the house had been a single-family all along).

But the kitchen was a dated disaster. Mary Aiken, a Seattle-based kitchen designer who also happens to be the homeowner’s mother, conceived an up-to-the-minute super-kitchen with a French farmhouse feel. For more pix and text go to CasaCARA.
