A stunning and windowed kitchen merges the minimalist beauty of Scandinavian-inspired design with the practicality of a real chef’s kitchen. Custom rift-oak cabinetry with clever storage everywhere, including spice pull-outs and deep drawers for pots, has been merged with Statuario marble inspired quartz countertops and a suite of high-end fully panelized Miele appliances, including a 36” fridge with double freezer, and a 6-burner FULLY VENTED range. The custom seating has been cleverly separated from the more formal spaces by a low wall of handsome bookshelves keeping the space open and airy.
The easily accessible dining and living rooms are a study in light and space, offering the warmth of pre-war elements with the light-filled ambiance of a more loft-like space. Every room in this home offers a modern take on beloved classic pre-war detailing. Such features include the original nail-head inlaid floors that have been restored and then pickled to lighten and brighten the space. Moldings, walls and ceiling medallions have been stripped and skim-coated and painted a luminescent white to guarantee the maximum amount of light all day. Glass pocket doors have been discretely placed to separate the bedroom wings from the common spaces, and hardware and lighting throughout has been updated with a modern take on the brass and porcelain hardware of yesteryear.
The layout is absolute perfection. On one side of this spacious home are three oversized bedrooms, including the primary suite, plus a windowed home office. The other side of the home features a separate guest suite that includes a full en-suite bath and a laundry area offering up an oversized fully vented washer and dryer and storage area. The larger bedroom wing has been cleverly designed for maximum privacy, with two bedrooms sharing a large windowed bath, and a primary suite with tons of closets. Every bathroom in this home has been fully renovated, offering up timeless classic design that integrates Carrara marble floor mosaics with oversized Bianco Dolomiti wall tiles. The secondary bathroom enjoys a double vanity with excellent storage and a deep tub and shower. The primary bathroom has been outfitted with a glass enclosed double shower and double vanity with brass pulls and great storage. The en-suite guest bath is also windowed and features a marble palette throughout.
