Overhaul of an Upper West Side Brownstone Apartment
From Sweeten
After spending many years patching up a rental they lived in together, two architects decided to purchase their very own fixer-upper on the top floor of an 1890s brownstone on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Having fallen in love with the view of the Hudson River, high ceilings, and the fact that the apartment hadn’t been touched since the ‘60s, Kate and Arthur embraced the cozy new home to make <500-square-foot feel significantly bigger. The couple came to Sweeten to find a team to help them reconfigure walls, add space to the kitchen, and renovate the bath.
First on their list, they made a few alterations to the floorplan. By moving the wall separating the living room from the kitchen/bathroom area, they were able gain an extra foot-and-a-half of space in the kitchen.
