This transformation took an estate-condition 2 bedroom 2 bathroom corner unit located in the heart of NYC's West Village to a whole other level. Exquisitely designed and beautifully executed; details abound which delight the senses at every turn.

This property was developed in the 1950’s with a relatively bare landscape. The rear yard was nothing special, but had some privacy. The owners set out to create mini gardens around the entire house. A koi pond was added first. Over time, plants were added that began creating pockets of spaces that gave each area a room-like feel. With each hole dug, rock was removed from it to install the pond or install a plant. The rock in the ground became the same rock used around the pond and used for stone walls. There is sun, shade, privacy, and the sound of water that stimulates the senses. The latest section of the master plan was to develop a more formal area (seen from the living room) with the diagonal blue stone set into the lawn. A picket fence separates it from a vegetable garden. A new fire pit is nestled among a row of hemlocks and rimmed shrubs. Photo by Daniel Contelmo Jr.

At the top of the house, the third-level crow’s nest is a private retreat that works as a second home office, a lounge, and a bar. Windows on three sides frame the treetops and ridgelines. A pair of black-framed French doors opens onto a private covered stargazing deck with long mountain views. There is room for a full workstation, a separate seating area for relaxing, and a bar for evening entertaining. A ceiling fan, a ductless mini-split, and an attic access hatch keep the space comfortable and functional, and wide-plank white oak floors carry up from the levels below.

Beautiful built in Mud Room Section. This was built into this area and then custom walls were put in to give it the complete built in look. Countertop to match the flooring that was there and scoop drawers for the kids to store their items.

The new front porch expands across the entire front of the house, creating a stunning entry that fits the scale of the rest of the home. The gorgeous, grand, stacked stone staircase, custom front doors, tapered double columns, stone pedestals and high-end finishes add timeless, architectural character to the space. The new porch features four distinct living spaces including a separate dining area, intimate seating space, reading nook and a hanging day bed that anchors the left side of the porch.

When the homeowners first purchased the 1925 house, it was compartmentalized, outdated, and completely unfunctional for their growing family. Casework designed the owner's previous kitchen and family room and was brought in to lead up the creative direction for the project. Casework teamed up with architect Paul Crowther and brother sister team Ainslie Davis on the addition and remodel of the Colonial. The existing kitchen and powder bath were demoed and walls expanded to create a new footprint for the home. This created a much larger, more open kitchen and breakfast nook with mudroom, pantry and more private half bath. In the spacious kitchen, a large walnut island perfectly compliments the homes existing oak floors without feeling too heavy. Paired with brass accents, Calcutta Carrera marble countertops, and clean white cabinets and tile, the kitchen feels bright and open - the perfect spot for a glass of wine with friends or dinner with the whole family. There was no official master prior to the renovations. The existing four bedrooms and one separate bathroom became two smaller bedrooms perfectly suited for the client’s two daughters, while the third became the true master complete with walk-in closet and master bath. There are future plans for a second story addition that would transform the current master into a guest suite and build out a master bedroom and bath complete with walk in shower and free standing tub. Overall, a light, neutral palette was incorporated to draw attention to the existing colonial details of the home, like coved ceilings and leaded glass windows, that the homeowners fell in love with. Modern furnishings and art were mixed in to make this space an eclectic haven.
