Bathed in natural light throughout, discover in this dreamy residence a myriad of unique details: at the entryway find the colorful stained-glass front door, a gorgeously restored telephone-pole column from Staten Island and a handmade steel railing inspired by the Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy the subtle angularity of the herringbone patterned living room floor, that bridges the gap between older and contemporary design: from the black and white cookie-inspired fireplace and the decorative pillar from a factory in Detroit, to the modern designer chandelier and the Gucci cranes wallpaper. Nothing is predictable and yet the artisan's vision flows smoothly into the massive chef's delight of a kitchen. Here the professional Viking stove perfectly blends with the restored 1940's Bronx Bakery cabinetry and everything is glued together by the huge kitchen island made of four pieces of thick Carrara marble, arranged in a mirrored design. Enjoy the serene views of the backyard, paved with rare original NYC Chelsea Piers cobblestones.
The owner's eclectic vision and wanderlust sensibility are greatly portrayed on the top floor of this intriguing home. The American flag room, with its classic notes and outstanding Caribou elk head over the fireplace, calls to mind Theodore Roosevelt's historic Sagamore Hill. Mahogany ceilings over 10 feet high, two skylights and the evocative decorative wall painting, lend this fascinating space a modern bohemian spirit. The adjacent full bathroom, which hosts a hand-crafted collage of vintage pictures on the walls and a glorious stained-glass installation, creates a color fantasy. The top floor landing's industrial yet elegant feel, with concrete floors, iron and glass railing and a precious designer chandelier, allows a smooth transition to the other bedroom, characterized by its minimalist, Scandinavian look, warmed by a floating fireplace and a section of exposed original brick wall.
