Creative Living with a True Parlor Experience | Designed by Leong Leong Built circa 1891, this Neo Grec and Queen Anne brownstone has been thoughtfully reimagined by the internationally acclaimed architecture firm Leong Leong. Well-preserved original architectural details form the foundation of a careful renovation that balances historic character with modern living. Guided by creativity, light, and everyday comfort, the home offers a layout designed to support how life is actually lived, where historic craftsmanship provides the backdrop for a modern, intentional lifestyle. The Parlor & Garden The heart of the home is the True Parlor Experience. Instead of a traditional formal room, this level is organized as a spacious, light-filled creative studio that supports both work and daily life. The garden level serves as the home’s culinary and social engine. The chef’s kitchen flows seamlessly into the private garden, creating a continuous indoor-outdoor environment ideal for morning coffee, harvesting fresh herbs, or hosting intimate alfresco dinners. Design, Light, & Wellness Bathed in golden south-facing sunlight, the interiors feature a curated material palette emphasizing proportion and ease. Every corner is engineered for how life is actually lived—from the precision of custom millwork to the restorative quiet of the home gym, integrated Huum sauna, and dedicated spa room, offering a daily retreat within the home.
