"From Hate to Love: The Transformation of a Brooklyn Townhouse"

Architect Pierre-Henri Hoppenot and his wife Daphne Earp Hoppenot initially despised their $2.43 million Brooklyn townhouse, but have since grown to love it, despite its unattractive exterior. The couple's desire to raise bilingual children led them to Carroll Gardens, where they found the only available house within their budget. Despite its unappealing appearance, the Hoppenots have embraced their home and are now planning a renovation to make it more suitable for their family.
