On The Market: New York, New York Upper East Side
07/01/2006
LOCATION: On the Upper East Side, near Central Park.; function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
HISTORY:
Recently renovated by New York–based architect Caroline Sidnam, the aging
brownstone was transformed into an Arts and Crafts–style masterpiece. The new
construction utilized single-point-of-origin custom millwork so that one tree
provides the wood for an entire room, adding detail and individuality to each
space. The renovations included the relocation of the main stairway to allow for
heightened ceilings and added daylight in most of the public areas.

In addition, the dining room features two-story windows that overlook the home’s private 600-square-foot formal garden.

The combination of the modern technology and the custom craftsmanship creates a serene but protected environment.”
