The homeowners of this turn-of-the-century brownstone located just outside of New York, in New Jersey, were drawn to the idyllic tranquility of this picture-perfect family home, nestled in a lusciously leafy community. Located on a quiet residential street, this house is bathed in dappled light from the trees that line the sidewalk, but as is typical with early 19th-century brownstones, the interiors lacked natural light.
When the homeowners initially set their sights on the property, the couple intended to make a handful of modifications. But their vision evolved into something much more ambitious - they ultimately decided to dive head-first into a full gut renovation to brighten up the space. They enlisted the help of the renowned designers at J. Patryce Design, and we spoke to principal designer Joan Enger to learn more about this modern home's transformation.
