I think this was particularly well handled. This was always a small 2 BR house, now a 1BR+ den. I think this was very well done considering the house is about 13 feet wide on the interior.

The above picture should start to give you a hint at something. Here is the kitchen:

This house was last sold in 1977, so the rehab must have taken place very soon after. Looks good for a 35 year old reno, doesn't it?

How much would a house like that cost?

The one thing I'm quizzical about is the cutaway for the staircase. Maybe it's best for the space, but perhaps a full height wall would make that LR feel more comfortable and structured. Hard to tell from the pic.

Good use of a little old place.

The range and the gold sofa and brown wall to wall clued me in on what I was looking at.

If you did white marble it would be pretty nice, but I would go for quartz (and a dishwasher while I was at it).

Virtually nobody is rehabbing these sorts of houses with this kind of sensibility in the city right now.

Here are four other offerings in the neighborhood, and one of these houses is on the same block and was probably identical at one time. Despite the oak and the arched doors, the listings say that these kitchens were done between 2006 and today. One of these houses is significantly more than the subject house, one is less, and the other two are about the same. I don't think Any of these kitchens have the presence that the one at the top of the post.

Well, you know, I once lived in a fifteen ft wide townhouse with a staircase just like that (only it ran parallel to the long wall), and without a cutout you could not possibly have gotten any furniture upstairs. Not even in pieces. (Consider long items like bed rails when there isn't room to maneuver them to get started.)

I myself am inclined to prefer an open banister to the solid, but you really don't have the option of going to the ceiling in those locations.

Hard to tell from the pic but the lr floor looks like stained concrete?

But happily, laminate isn't the only "proper" option for such a re-do. Plastic just isn't for everyone, and the rest of the house does have a slightly organic, even slightly earthy feel, even though it is very clean and streamlined. Maybe all that wood & natural light going on?

It feels very much like a home and not a slick, industrial, over the top "Look at what a contemporary house I am" sort of re-do.

So much more character than the other ones you posted.

It's dark brown wall to wall carpet. It's probably original to the renovation too.

My dm&d installed orange Formica in the early 70's. It made a cheerful kitchen!

I am surprised they left wood flooring in the kitchen though, but glad they did. I love the closet bump outs in the bedroom.

Oh, wait, that's my current association...seriously, who knows? Maybe the current 'green' trend will make keeping countertops trendy, and stones will actually last the lifetime people hope they will (I'm not holding my breath...but it could happen).
