From a onetime barn in the countryside of the Hamptons to a former spice warehouse on the banks of the Hudson, these three properties have been carefully, stylishly transformed, applying architectural and aesthetic modernity with a respectful eye toward history.
Classic Charm in Sagaponack
Kathy Konzet | Sotheby’s International Realty – East Hampton Brokerage
Less than a mile from the beach in Sagaponack, a 1920s barn has been transformed into an enchanting seven-bedroom home with five baths, living and dining rooms, a great room, a den, and a cook’s kitchen with a breakfast nook. Soaring ceilings, numerous windows and glass doors, and a collection of decks and patios create a bright, airy coastal ambience. The 1.7-acre park-like grounds also offer a one-bedroom guesthouse, a gunite pool, a pool house, a bocce court, specimen trees, gardens, and rolling lawns.
Lenox Hill Luxury
Matthew Fox | Sotheby’s International Realty – East Side Manhattan Brokerage
Once a hotel just steps from Central Park, the Carlton House was converted into a collection of luxurious residences in 2015. This stylish 21st-floor home boasts a great room and open kitchen; a primary suite with a windowed walk-in closet, a dressing area, and an elegant en suite bath; and a generous guest bedroom suite or office. Residents enjoy an array of amenities, including a heated swimming pool, a fitness center, a steam room, a full-time door attendant, concierge services, a lounge, and storage.
Transformed TriBeCa Penthouse
Serena Boardman | Sotheby’s International Realty – East Side Manhattan Brokerage
Overlooking the Hudson River from a historic perch in TriBeCa, this penthouse sits atop a 19th-century spice warehouse that has been rejuvenated as a sophisticated cooperative building. Highlights include a living room and a den with sunset views, three bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a library with built-in bookshelves, and an upper-level sunroom opening to an enviable terrace with a pergola and a sauna. Hints of vintage charm remain in rugged wood posts and beams, deeply hued hardwood floors, arched brick-trimmed windows, and a warming woodstove.
