The Upper West Side Townhouse is a comprehensive renovation of a landmarked late-19th century residence in Manhattan. Prior alterations had obscured the building’s original proportions and circulation. A new custom white oak stair connects the home vertically, and historic details were repaired where possible, with new interventions that are simple and material-driven.
A consistent palette of fumed white oak, stone, plaster, and painted millwork provides continuity throughout. The kitchen and dining level is anchored by French limestone floors and a brick cooking hearth, while the family rooms above feature Venetian plaster, a custom Carrara marble mantel, and a cork-lined library. Interiors were developed in collaboration with Leonora Hamill Studio, with landscape design by Grace Fuller Design.
