Sometimes in New York, things can feel like a trade-off - e.g., a person can live in a timeless brownstone, but must bid adieu to the dream of having a private garden. However, it's not impossible to have both. The following apartments are housed in brownstone conversions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and all come with a private terrace for gardening or dining, if not a full backyard.
