In East Williamsburg, this 1940 single-family brick row house has a stylish interior reno and off-street parking.

At 8 Sharon Street, the 18-foot-wide house is one of a row built with deep front gardens and front porches facing Cooper Park. With a bright blue and white color scheme applied to the original Tudor Revival-style half timbering, it stands out a bit from its neighbors.

Inside, the house has gotten some tweaks since it was last on the market in 2018. That work kept some period details like stained glass and retained the existing floor plan while opening up the kitchen and adding some storage. Radiators throughout the house were replaced with baseboard heating, which, at least in the listing photos, appears a bit more subtle than is often seen. Mini splits were also installed.

The living room, which retains an original phone niche, got a new built-in bench with storage tucked next to the stair. The kitchen, which opens up into a dining room, got a complete overhaul with quartz countertops and slab front cabinets by Semihandmade. A blue island with a quartz top separates it from the dining room.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The smallest of the bedrooms was converted to a walk-in closet with built-in storage. The windowed bath got a makeover with a black tile floor, a wood vanity and brass hardware.

More space can be found in the renovated basement, which has a laundry room, office and playroom. There is another full bath, this one a bit quirkier with marine-themed tile work in the walk-in shower.

The garden space is all up front here. While there is a bit of green in the rear, most of the area is taking up by the parking pad.

The house last sold in 2018, before the most recent renovations, for $1.59 million. Now listed with Alexandra Saltiel of Douglas Elliman, it is priced at $2.25 million. What do you think?
