“Our shopper, Andrew Serling, purchased the place within the late eighties. It’s situated in a former Borden milk manufacturing facility in-built 1921, and the constructing retains its unique allure. Over time, Andrew married, moved to Pennsylvania, and barely used the place (though his neighbor Robert DeNiro leased it as a boxing studio at one level). Years handed and the place fell into disrepair.
“Not way back Andrew and his spouse, Ellen, determined to spend extra time within the metropolis, so that they enlisted us to crack the structure code (see earlier than pictures) with architectural designer Jeff English.” The consequence: a brilliantly reconfigured area with a Bauhaus vibe and a hard-to-pin-down, refined aesthetic.
(Oh, and did we point out that Taylor Swift lives throughout the road? Mayhem often ensues, but it surely’s all high-quality.)
