This historic, high-end apartment (via Alexander White) boasts a plethora of details, including custom built-ins and elegant finishes. An abundance of intricate details helps it stand out with stunning features that make it a welcoming home.
Soft Tones Envelope the Large Living Room
Cloudy grey colors add a warm feel to this spacious living area, and a trio of tall windows flood the space with natural light, flanked by sheer, floor-to-ceiling curtains. The cheery, modern area rug and contemporary coffee table add visual interest and updated touches.
A massive built-in bookshelf with space for the TV provides excellent storage, creating a designated area for books, other media, and small decorative items. Intricately detailed ceiling trim throughout the room echoes the apartment’s vintage, historic character.
Light wood herringbone floors help to make this living room a bit more lively and keep the focus on the many unique details throughout the space. Comfortable, modern seating furniture completed in white upholstery adds to the relaxing ambiance.
A pair of pocket doors with glass and matching grey trim provides privacy and quiet while still letting light flood the entire home. A rectangular dining table and modern wood chairs accentuate the space, and another unique area rug underneath the table creates separation.
Incredible details found on the fireplace complement the crown molding. The fireplace is also painted white to give the living room a cohesive look and feel. The mirror reflects the living space and makes it appear bigger.
Unique, modern wall art and a sleek sideboard breathe new life into this cozy area. Splashes of color in decor and accents give this living room a fun, vibrant aesthetic.
A Cozy, Well-Appointed Kitchen
The kitchen is attached to the dining and living area just through the glass pocket doors. Grey wainscotting is carried through into this space, giving the apartment a seamless feel.
The gorgeous white marble waterfall countertops coordinate perfectly with the herringbone floors. Here, the homeowner also chose to add more artwork, giving them complete creative control over the entire space.
Elegance Defines the Main Bedroom
A putty-brown color gives the main bedroom a comforting vibe, while more detailed crown molding adds to the space’s intricacy. The unique shape of this room and the tall doors leading to a sunny balcony make this bedroom the perfect relaxing oasis.
Rather than placing nightstands on either side of the bed, the homeowner opted for small, built-in corner shelves. Wall sconces provide convenient lighting for reading a book before bedtime while freeing up square footage.
Functionality is found in the Guest Bedroom
A desk and chair are nestled against one wall in the guest bedroom, making it a convenient workspace. The tall windows flank one wall, bringing in more natural light during the morning and throughout the day.
Simple and Sophisticated Home Office
This home office features more built-ins above the built-in desk, making it a perfect spot to work and stay organized. A window brings in lots of light, and a whimsical work of art on the wall keeps the space from taking itself too seriously.
Luxe Finishes Define the Bathroom
Surrounded by smooth marble, this chic bathroom is the ultimate spa. The burnished gold hardware adds to the luxurious look and feel.
A unique vanity is flanked by more marble, and the unusual shape gives it a modern edge. Lots of storage finishes out this luxe bathroom, including the large mirror above the vanity that doubles as a medicine cabinet.
A Charming Powder Room
The lovely beige color in the powder room gives it a sweet feel. Small yet functional, this extra bathroom adds a lovely finishing touch to this historic apartment.
