Brownstone
의미: A row house built with brown sandstone, iconic to Brooklyn and other NYC neighborhoods.
Brownstones are the architectural signature of neighborhoods like Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Harlem, and the Upper West Side. Originally built in the 19th century, these elegant row houses with their distinctive brown facades and stoops have become some of NYC's most desirable (and expensive) real estate. 'Brownstone Brooklyn' is practically a synonym for upscale borough living.
