This house had some great bones but the interior & exterior finishes screamed 1982 – and shrilly. The angular massing of the front façade was undermined by shallow arched entrance at the front façade. The parapets were topped with awkwardly proportioned dentil work. The doors & windows were shaky, thin profiled aluminum.
It was time to reach in & pull the modern elements out from under all that bygone era. Large panel, solid profile aluminum windows & doors take advantage of spectacular views. Wide plank oak floors, modern flat panel Echo-Wood cabinetry, composite quartz countertops, Glass-Cote backsplash revitalize the kitchen area – which is now open to the Dining & Living areas rather than walled off & hidden from view. What used to be a centrally located dark stair core was removed & a new open tread stair connects all 4 levels of the house – allowing an exchange of light from top to bottom & reconnecting the interior spaces as a whole.
