Cara Greenberg (that’s me) is a professional freelance writer, editor, and photo stylist. I write about interior and furniture design, architecture, real estate, antiques and collecting, gardens, and travel. My work appears in many national magazines and newspapers, including Metropolitan Home, Garden Design, The New York Times, and Home Miami. I am the author of several books, notably Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s.

I collect old houses. In Brooklyn, I own an 1830s brick row house in Boerum Hill, acquired in 1979, and an 1850s mews house in Cobble Hill, bought in 1986, each renovated several times over. My Philadelphia properties are an 1810 former parsonage in Queen Village, bought in 2005, and an 1840s double trinity in South Kensington that I’ve had since 2007.  The four buildings have a total of ten rental units, so I know a thing or two about being a landlord.

I also have a 1930s cottage on 20 acres in northern Dutchess County, so I know a thing or two about deer-resistant gardening.

My primary residence is now a cottage in Springs, Long Island, an arty hamlet 5 miles north of East Hampton.

Please note: I am NOT a real estate broker, nor do I have any financial interest in the sale of any property mentioned on this blog. I just like spreading the word about unique, historic properties and what I believe are solid investment opportunities.
