Exclusive | Inside the last original house in Brooklyn Heights — built in the 1700s

Located in Brooklyn Heights, the Federal-style wood-frame house at 25 Cranberry St. is believed to have been built between 1790 and 1795. The property, which predates the city’s residential grid, features original wide-plank floors made from 18th-century English ship ballast and walls stripped back to their first layer of ochre and indigo plaster. Brown Harris Stevens currently holds the listing.

The home was purchased in 1995 by art dealer Peter Freeman and editor Elisabeth Cunnick, who spent years undoing mid-century renovations to restore its early American character. The four-story structure includes a parlor, a library, three wood-burning fireplaces, and original banisters. It is considered one of the last original wood-frame farmhouses remaining in the neighborhood.
