Before & After
Dark, dull and dilapidated, this home lacked light, aesthetic and outdoor space upon acquisition. Seeing potential in the overgrown backyard and dingy features throughout, the Dixon Projects team sought to rework the existing layout, incorporate natural lighting and add a multi-layered extension to the rear of the home, ultimately accommodating indoor/outdoor living amongst a wide open floor plan.
This multi-family Jersey City brownstone was a treasure trove of intricate crown molding, elaborate plaster ceiling medallions, marble fireplaces and antique fixtures—all in questionable condition and many painted in garish gold hues. These neglected grand features would provide another grand challenge for the Projects team: How do we complete a full layout redesign in the midst of so many fragile original details?
In order to achieve single-family functionality from a multi-family floorplan, a massive open space fit for a top-of-the-line, gourmet kitchen was created at the rear of the parlor level. The expanded kitchen footprint incorporates a large central island for both seating and storage while a floor-to-ceiling folding glass door NanaWall lends copious light along with amazing indoor/outdoor entertaining and dining.
A new rear extension and redesign of the existing garage created a sleek modern entrance with a bonus “in-law” suite on top. Chic green bricks and cedar slat details adorn this new addition, expertly matched to the existing green cornices on the main house, but different enough to stand as an independent structure.
This corroding space has been transformed into a beautiful café environment. Stunning custom millwork counters, tables, stools, niches and a bar fill Seven Point Espresso and generate acclaim amongst all who enter.
