THE SHOWSTOPPER! This light-filled, grand and glamourous home will put a smile on your face from the moment you enter. Gut-renovated in 2016 by its architect-owners it’s evident that no detail went unnoticed in its transformation. The exceptional care and craftsmanship that went into its design is apparent everywhere you look. The objective was to create a luxuriously modern space, while still honoring its classic lines and Art Deco heritage. Perhaps best of all, it can easily be converted to a still generously-sized 3-bedroom home without sacrificing any of its elegant design (see both floor plans).

The home’s rich history is revealed in its high beamed ceilings and white oak herringbone parquet floors, which have been carefully restored to their original grandeur. Light spills in from oversized windows which frame lush, tree-top views. There are two bedrooms, a sunny living room and an elegant, welcoming foyer. The magnificent open kitchen is a chef’s dream with its stunning custom-built waterfall island, Porcelanosa countertops, high-end stainless steel appliance package and exhaust hood. The windowed bathroom couldn’t be prettier and features Carrera marble mosaic tile, designer hardware, clever built-ins, rain shower and deep soaking tub. The renovations extend to the infrastructure with updated electrical, FIOS wiring, and new plumbing branch lines. Its many other features include: ample storage and closet space, (including a dreamy walk-in in the master!), sleek, contemporary steam radiators, restored plaster mouldings, new baseboards, solid-core doors and custom built-ins.

Built in 1924 by renowned Art Deco architect Charles B Meyers this iconic landmark building was originally the prestigious Brace Bridge Hotel and is said to be the home of many of the original Brooklyn Dodgers. Much of the original details remain, including the beautiful limestone cornices and the magnificent marble lobby with its brass handrails, elegant archways, Art Deco elevator doors and coffered ceiling. This pet-friendly building offers a live-in super, a part-time doorman, bike and private storage (upon availability) and a new laundry room.
