Looking for more space after 10 years in a Bloomingdale rowhouse, these recent arrivals to Crestwood certainly found it in this six-bedroom Tudor. While the 90-year-old home’s exterior is classically Tudor, through a top-to-bottom renovation the homeowners found ways to incorporate Tudor details while bringing an open and bright feeling to the house. Removal of a staircase, relocation of a powder room and creation of a second entrance into the living room enabled a more contemporary, circular flow that works well for entertaining and for chasing around the family’s elderly terrier.
When the family bought the home in 2017 they enlarged the kitchen and added tones of midnight blue, white and sunflower yellow and it now functions as a central gathering place. The home’s eclectic furnishings and art include contemporary acquisitions mixed with family heirlooms, including a leaded glass sideboard, a 200-year-old tall clock and a Steinway player piano dating to the same era as the home.
