2100 SF: single family home with fully finished basement

A new Mitsubishi split system enhances the home's cooling capabilities, while water-based heating has replaced the old steam system. Inspired by mid-century modern design, the home features warm tones and muted colors throughout. The stunning walnut kitchen, adorned with brass handles and an olive backsplash, serves as a focal point. A cozy window seat was added for a reading nook, and new sliding doors open to the backyard.

Modern black trim tilt-and-turn windows improve energy efficiency while adding to the mid-century aesthetic. The primary suite boasts a new bathroom with Tineo wood cabinetry, white wall tiles, and black hexagonal flooring. A new sliding door connects the bedroom to a TV/family room, enhancing flow.

On the top floor, the girls’ bathroom features playful blue tiles, with artwork created by the daughters displayed on the walls. The living room fireplace was beautifully restored after being concealed under layers of plaster for years. All-new stairs and railings have been custom fabricated and installed. This home now serves as a sanctuary for the family, allowing them to fully enjoy their beloved Brooklyn neighborhood of Clinton Hill.
