This Arts and Crafts style home has been lovingly restored with a decidedly modern kitchen extension flowing into a Zen garden.

Spanning 5,000 square feet across multiple levels, on one of the most desirable blocks in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, it features 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and abundant closets.

House opens up to a formal living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Tall ceilings and walls with original plasterwork, are ringed by mahogany wainscoting. Oak flooring throughout the home lead to a grand mahogany multi leveled staircase, with landings framing stain glass windows.

Living room leads to sunroom, surrounded on three sides with windows flooding the space with natural light. The formal dining room still contains the original leaded glass windows and mahogany built-in china closet. Dining room flows into a large modern kitchen.

Kitchen addition and exterior spaces were designed by architects to engage with nature and the earth. Alignments to the cardinal axis North-South, angles relating to the moon, and a garden addressing each season. Each of the four basic elements: earth, water, air, and fire are revealed in the architecture and landscape.

Kitchen and landscaping were custom designed with precise features:

-Walls of floor to ceiling glass opening directly onto outdoor deck

-Tranquil garden surrounded by bamboo for privacy

-Detailed ipe wood delineating North-South axis

-Ipe built in seating and marble toped exterior table

-Gas outdoor grill

-Reflecting pool

-Vegetable garden
