The pool feels as laterally finite as the house feels spacious—but the view goes up forever.

The space has a contemporary look with light wood flooring, a preserved cathedral ceiling, white gallery walls, and bold furnishings.

“The dining room wallpaper [Cole & Son’s Forest] helped bring the outdoors in, which was a parallel play on the large windows selected by the architects. Selecting wallpapers that had a forced perspective also provided a sense of depth for spaces like the dining room and powder room,” says Santos.

Behind a pocket door, the pantry has plenty of storage and a prep sink. “These intimate, moody spaces accentuate the brightness of the living area and reinforces the spatial organization of the home,” says the firm.

The entry speaks to how the owners’ modern aesthetic was merged with the historic bones of the brownstone. Now, a marble mosaic tile from Ivy Hill Tile, the ‘Prism Pink,’ was inset into the oak floor to define the entry. The interior designer picked a leather-faced wall-hung cabinet, as the leather will gain patina over time from the high traffic area, yet still look good.

A visually enticing study off of the dining area echoes 19th century opulence.

The dining room features double height ceilings and accompanying double height floor-to-ceiling window.

According to the listing, “Naturvillan's design language was based on following the tapered, pointed triangle-like tops of the conifers. The form gives, up close, a strong visual architecture with a very stable base directly on the mountain. The house then recedes with height where the house blends in among the treetops and harmonizes with the landscape, which from a distance gives a naturally pleasing humble impression.”

“Off the kitchen is the 1,000-square-foot great room with an oversize woodburning fireplace, original wide-plank floors, custom wainscoting milled from trees on the property, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the creek and waterfall,” says the listing agent.

In a flex room that can be used as both guest space and office, Joshi-Gupta placed a large-scale jaguar wallpaper mural with a velvet sofa and Jonathan Adler lighting.
