Built in 1920, House 84 is a three-story townhouse with a basement studio, spanning 3,000 sqft across four floors. The renovation set out to preserve and build upon the unique history of the building—introducing a palette of walnut, oak, and marble with bronze and maroon accents that give each floor its own weight and character while respecting the rhythm of the original building.
On the ground floor, an existing wall was removed and replaced with a pair of arches. The double arch connects the entry, dining room, living room, and reading nook into a single continuous sequence from the moment you walk in, while keeping each zone legible on its own. The arches carry the building's original sensibility forward while giving the floor plan a fluidity the structure never had before.
The kitchen is anchored by walnut cabinetry and marble backsplash. Tucked beneath the stair, the powder room is floor-to-ceiling marble—a small, concentrated space that earns its material.
The second floor steps back from the elegance below. The primary suite is quieter—featuring fluted oak wood panels that contrast with the walnut floor to create a warm atmosphere, accented by bronze metal. In the bathroom, the arched language continues with an arched mirror set against reeded tiles and brass fixtures. Below grade, the basement studio shifts register entirely: a looser, more playful space that holds its own against the more composed floors above.
