Australian Artist Jeremyville Lists His Luminous Bed-Stuy Brownstone For $2.7M

This circa-1880 brownstone in Stuyvesant Heights has been thoroughly renovated for modern-day living.

Located in New York’s Stuyvesant Heights historic district, this recently updated, four-story brownstone has just been listed for $2,700,000. The current owners are Australian artist Jeremy Andrew, the man behind Jeremyville, and Megan Mair, a creative director, curator, and brand strategist. 

When the creative couple bought the home for $1,500,000 in 2013, it was divided up into three separate units. They gave it a total renovation, transforming the property into a bright, single-family home. During the overhaul, they were careful to maintain the 3,400-square-foot home’s original character while updating it for modern sensibilities. 

The beautiful four-story brownstone was originally built around 1880 by prolific Stuyvesant Heights builder Charles Isbill.
