This gut renovation of an Italianate townhouse transformed the property by blending historic restoration with modern luxury. The project replaced the entire interior, added a private elevator, and introduced a striking new staircase for improved flow. Excavation work created a state-of-the-art home gym and wine cellar, while a roof deck with skyline views expanded outdoor living. The facade and cornice were fully restored, with period details like plaster crown moldings and custom-carved mantles seamlessly integrated alongside modern amenities, resulting in a timeless residence that marries classic architecture with contemporary comfort.
