Beacon Street Brownstone
Reworking a classic Boston Brownstone today always involves updated kitchen and baths. And if possible, adding a powder room and flexible room that could function as a guest room or office on the main floor. This project did not have an owner and was being remarketed for sale. Creating an ideal space that prospective buyers would identify with requires the designer to research the target market for the home and detail/design spaces tailored to fit that niche.
Relocating the kitchen to the other side of the space provided for a guest/office.
Boston Red-brick chimney became the focal point of the new kitchen with closed door storage and walnut countertop and floating shelves. Keeping the line of sight to the original back metal bay-window with stained glass insert at the back of the unit complimented the crisp white cabinets and quartz stone tops
Removing a series of built-ins and bookcases to the right of the fireplace freed up space for a large built-in Subzero along with a wet bar and wine fridge
Mixing stainless steel appliances with brass faucets and light fixtures keep the space transitional
