This modernist brick home built 1979 stands in playful contrast to its neighboring historic row homes. The new owners, a young couple with a growing family, wanted a total renovation with an open the floor plan filled with natural light, as well as a new third floor addition with a master suite, spa-like bathroom, media room and sun deck. Program requirements included five bedrooms, contemporary kitchen, children’s play space, and ample space for art.
