A 19th-century NYC carriage house transformed into a tranquil spa retreat by an architect duo.
The historic 19th-century carriage house and stable in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, have been transformed into a stunning live/work compound, now on the market for just under $6 million. The property, spanning 4,000 square feet, was renovated over 18 months by its architect owners, Colin Faber and Leni Niemegeers-Faber, the founding partners of SHED Studio.
The property, set on a 131-foot-deep lot, includes a 25-foot-wide main house, a two-car garage, and a 25-foot-wide guesthouse and spa. The guesthouse has two wings: a sunlit studio and a Japanese-inspired spa with a hinoki soaking tub, steam room, slate shower, and radiant-heated floors. The garden leads to the guesthouse, creating a serene outdoor space for relaxation.
Bathing in the Brooklyn property's bathrooms feels like a spa retreat. The bathrooms feature thoughtful touches such as vintage copper tubs, inventive hidden slot drains, and full-height glass panels. The kitchen, like the one renovated by its owners, features radiant-heated walnut floors.
The property is being sold by Corcoran's Linda Peng, Dwayne Powell, and Christian T. Powers. Another featured listing is the property in Indigo Bay, Sint Maarten, priced at $2,724,800 USD.
Meanwhile, in Vail, Colorado, another extraordinary property is up for sale. Priced at $27,000,000 USD, this property features a chef's kitchen with walnut cabinetry and a wood-fired pizza oven, found upstairs. The ground floor flows effortlessly into a cozy den with a cast-iron stove and walls of glass opening directly onto a lush private garden. The property features radiant-heated walnut floors, yellow-leaf heart pine beams, reclaimed sequoia, exposed brick, hot-rolled steel, and Venetian plaster.
Colin and Leni bought the Brooklyn property in 2009 and ran the entire renovation while living on-site, guiding a crew of 12. They are renowned for their work at SHED Studio, a multi-disciplinary design firm launched in 2003. However, the founders who revitalized the 19th-century old riding stable in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, as SHED Studio were not identified in the provided search results.
A unique feature of the Brooklyn property is the floating staircase, crafted with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, which suspends between masonry and exposed studs. This architectural marvel adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the property.
The Brooklyn property's Japanese-inspired spa, complete with a hinoki soaking tub, steam room, slate shower, and radiant-heated floors, offers a tranquil escape in the heart of the city. This live/work compound is a testament to the creativity and vision of its owners, Colin Faber and Leni Niemegeers-Faber.
