The Plan

Originally designed by William and Alexander Calder, the three-story neo-Italian Renaissance townhouse retained many of its character-defining elements—including a curved bay and carved stone panels—yet its interiors no longer suited for contemporary living.

The parlor level was reconfigured to establish a deliberate threshold between old and new: a formal living room remains at the front of the house, while the rear opens into a light-filled kitchen and dining space designed for everyday family life. At the garden level, the plan was reimagined to accommodate a guest suite, family room, and home office, while the upper floors now house three bedrooms and a primary suite framed by the home’s distinctive curved bay. Throughout, vintage and mid-century-inspired furnishings are layered with warm wood tones, soft neutral walls, and earth-toned finishes, creating a calm yet contemporary interior. Thoughtfully selected lighting and accents add depth, warmth, and personality across the home.
