Her granddaughter, who got her real estate license at age 18, is no slouch either. Mary Kay Gallagher, age 94, sells historic homes in y South, Ditmas Park, Midwood and nearby areas—stunning, stand-alone single-family properties that are a century old or more, with verdant lawns and trees. Ninety percent of them have driveways, which of course are coveted in Brooklyn.

Interior renovation is going full speed ahead at much written-about 114 Westminster Road—with its new co-owner, architect Stephen Tanen- baum, serving as the foreman. From the salvaged, historically appropriate overhead light fixtures and other construction materials (our especial favorite was the din- ing-room chandelier) to meticulously repaired wood floors, “it’s a labor of love,” he said. Last August, Tanenbaum and his wife Alisa Stratton bought the 12- room, 1915-vintage home—which Prospect Park South’s Landmarks des- ignation report describes as a Colonial Revival whose “broad, simple mass … creates an effect of quiet monumentality.” The deal was brokered by Mary Kay Gallagher Real Estate. The couple, who moved from Park Slope, had wanted to live in Vic- torian Flatbush for the longest time. “Each house has its own personality,” he said. “Sometimes in a brownstone neighborhood, you can walk into the wrong yard and think it’s your own.” They first looked at 114 Westminster several years ago when it was on the market, another brokerage had the listing and it was priced “un- realistically,” he said—at almost $3 million. They and their three kids have been living in the house during the fix-up. “My family has really endured a lot,” he said. Things got interesting when he remodeled the kitchen. “We washed our dishes in the bathtub,” he said. “My wife deserves a medal.” Because Tanenbaum got rid of the wall between the “claustro- phobic” kitchen and the old-fashioned, wood-floored dining room, it wouldn’t have looked right to make the kitchen look like a laboratory. Instead, he gave it the feel of a library, with rich-toned wood cabinets and a wooden ladder on wheels. Our house is a very, very, very fine house. (Thank you Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, for that line.)Eagle photos by Lore Croghan Also, he removed the wall between the first-floor sun room and liv- ing room. The combined space will be quite something when the work is finished. BTW, shortly before Tanenbaum and Stratton closed on the West- minster Road house, they sold their Park Slope rowhouse at 467 14th St. for $3.35 million, city Finance Department records indicate.
