There's no shortage of incredible
brownstones in Hoboken, but this residence
evokes a classic Victorian charm while giving
us the best of contemporary design. By
restoring the original details, Robert Jenny
Design was able to add a modern touch
without disturbing the authenticity of the
house—which is the true backbone of this
locale.
After a full gut renovation, and the
installation of a high velocity air system, the
design team brought the elements of the
past into the 21st century. In the bedroom
and bathroom, the original stained glass
windows and mantels were all revived and
balanced out with pieces like a sleek, up-
to-date vanity. Such features help to create
a sense of unity throughout the house. For
instance, while the kitchen is a modern
minimalistic design, it still achieves the "old
meets new" harmony with pieces such as
the antique light fixture hanging above the
center island.
