This historic home renovation balances preserved character with modern functionality, all within walking distance of Central Park and downtown. To respect the home’s integrity, all original window and door openings were maintained, requiring thoughtful design solutions to optimize the layout. New materials like shiplap were seamlessly integrated with existing millwork to create a cohesive, updated aesthetic. A former in-between space was transformed into a dedicated dressing room for the primary suite, alongside structural enhancements to reinforce the original staircase.
