| What was once a dark, dated condominium has been given an extreme make-over to become a sophisticated and elegant urban residence. In order to make better use of the available square footage, an unnecessary hallway with several clumsy doorways was reconfigured in order to enlarge the master bath and dual closets; and a new double-door entrance into the master suite was created at one end of the living room. Ceilings were raised to ten feet throughout the home. The extensive renovation required the removal of all existing finishes down to the framing. |

The powder room was given a new stone floor and countertop, contrasting with dark wood custom cabinetry and brushed nickel fixtures. |
|
The homeowner’s desk area, finished to match the kitchen cabinets, occupies one wall in the breakfast room. |
|
A new frameless shower enclosure is the focal point of the master bath, complemented by stone counters and brushed nickel fixtures. |
|
Custom mahogany cabinets coordinate with marble countertops, stainless-steel kitchen appliances and brushed nickel hardware. |
|
The living room opens out onto a very private patio through multiple french doors. The mature container landscaping gives the impression of being in a private park. |
|
Floor-to-ceiling mahogany built-in shelves in the master bedroom provide storage and display areas. |
|
Portions of the owners’ art collection are displayed in the living and dining rooms. |
|
The den provides the owner with a home-office area, and because it has its own separate bath, can be used as a guest room. |
|
The new stone fireplace mantle was selected for its strong, simple lines. |
