Coveted Gramercy Townhouse

Tucked away in a charming corner of Manhattan, this luxurious townhouse was lovingly pieced together from four separate apartments. In need of more room to suit an expanding family, the clients requested a refined yet restful space that speaks to the natural rhythms of everyday life.

Two bedrooms were removed to make way for a double-height foyer and staircase, while the layout was extensively reimagined throughout. Built-in bunk beds were installed to allow two spritely boys a separate room just for play, and an eclectic collection of Persian and Scandinavian heirlooms was combined with elegant Belgian accessories to cultivate a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere for the couple. Finally, the building’s historic character was reinstated after years of unrequited modernization with salvaged stone fireplaces, custom brass grates, and polished, period fixtures.
