It successfully executed to keep and restore the original details from a different era and to bring the home onto the 21st-century. The impeccable work done to the residence, turned it into a sophisticated single-family house with 6 bedrooms,1 office and 7 and bathrooms. The ceiling heights up to 12-feet coupled with spacious amenities make this house the ideal place for comfortable New York City living.
