How do you turn the classic styling of a brownstone into a modern home? Call on the experts at NYKB for a full kitchen and home renovation. In this "Floorplan" segment, Open House NY host George Oliphant meets with designer Mairav Gargano and Leo the contractor to find out how they turned a Jersey City brownstone into a modern palace.

Even with a budget of $200-500,000 the total investment was less than a Brooklyn Heights brownstone and the home was given a full gut renovation. Beams and bearing walls were moved, the kitchen was expanded and a cellar was turned into a storage garage. In just over six months, the property transformed into a modern palace within the cool of their old exterior.

How does the new place look? Watch the video and find out.
