The 10 Dreamiest Townhouse Extensions on Pinterest
The ultimate in urbanite exteriors porn.
If Pinterest has taught us one thing, it's to dream big. And for many a city dweller (like your dearest Lonny editors), that bigness comes in the form of a comparatively sprawling urban townhouse to replace our shoebox apartments. While certainly far from suburban McMansions or, hell, actual mansions, in square footage, the idea of having a staircase (gasp!) and a little walled garden (sigh) are fantasy enough.
Though, if you're feeling extra daring and your hopes aren't quite high enough as it is, might we suggest you slide into the fantastical world of townhouse extensions. From glass-and-steel-framed sun rooms to rooftop cabanas to subterranean, sky-lighted studios, these spaces seem almost like an urban myth. Lucky, we're here to lead you down the rabbit hole into those hidden back yards to sneak a peek. Keep scrolling to see 10 of the coolest modified row houses on the web.
