Carriage House Redux, Estate of the Day
The listing says that this renovated carriage house on East 92nd Street in Manhattan is "a wow from the moment you enter" and I can see why. The 25-foot wide carriage house has had a gut renovation that took two years and created a very modern urban dwelling with the look of a sophisticated boutique hotel. The first floor has a great room with fireplace and a rear glass wall. Outside, the garden features an outdoor kitchen. The second floor living room has a fireplace and ceilings that soar over 18 feet. The third floor dining room has a terrace overlooking the garden. On the fourth floor you'll find three bedrooms and baths. The fifth floor is given over to a master suite with a fireplace, skylight, luxurious bath, huge dressing room, and a home office. The finished basement has a gym, bath, laundry room, and storage. A large commercial grade elevator and steel staircase help you navigate the home's many floors. It is listed at $19 million.

These were buildings that rich people used to keep their carriages in and the people who served their transportational needs. The carriages used to be very tall and would have been about the same height as a fire engine.

Deanna,
You are correct. Those are really nice wood panels and real wood at that. I think that it's the colour that is making people think it is similiar to the nasty cheap paneling that people used to think looked so great. Most people like the darker woods... mahoghany, cherrywood and the like. I know I do. It's just too bad that they used that particular wood in almost all rooms of the house. They even used it in the bathroom. That's really not a good place to use wood because of the moisture.

too cold and uninteresting, in my opinion. It doesn't feel like a home, some of the areas, it looks like a showroom, and the exterior, for an almost 20 million price tag, should be nicer, too simple on the outside. Some waste of space in the whole double-height. And I believe that the library looks definitely odd. I would have some mix of styles in the furniture to make it look like a home, and add some rugs.
