\nFrom a onetime barn in the countryside of the Hamptons to a former spice warehouse on the banks of the Hudson, these three properties have been carefully, stylishly transformed, applying architectural and aesthetic modernity with a respectful eye toward history.<\/p>\n

Classic Charm in Sagaponack<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kathy Konzet<\/a> | Sotheby’s International Realty\u00a0\u2013 East Hampton Brokerage<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Less than a mile from the beach in Sagaponack, a 1920s barn has been transformed into an enchanting seven-bedroom home<\/a> with five baths, living and dining rooms, a great room, a den, and a cook\u2019s kitchen with a breakfast nook. Soaring ceilings, numerous windows and glass doors, and a collection of decks and patios create a bright, airy coastal ambience. The 1.7-acre park-like grounds also offer a one-bedroom guesthouse, a gunite pool, a pool house, a bocce court, specimen trees, gardens, and rolling lawns.<\/p>\n

Lenox Hill Luxury<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Matthew Fox<\/a> | Sotheby’s International Realty \u2013 East Side Manhattan Brokerage<\/a><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Once a hotel just steps from Central Park, the Carlton House was converted into a collection of luxurious residences in 2015. This stylish 21st-floor home<\/a> boasts a great room and open kitchen; a primary suite with a windowed walk-in closet, a dressing area, and an elegant en suite bath; and a generous guest bedroom suite or office. Residents enjoy an array of amenities, including a heated swimming pool, a fitness center, a steam room, a full-time door attendant, concierge services, a lounge, and storage.<\/p>\n

Transformed TriBeCa Penthouse<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Serena Boardman\u00a0<\/i><\/a> | Sotheby’s International Realty \u2013 East Side Manhattan Brokerage<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Overlooking the Hudson River from a historic perch in TriBeCa, this penthouse<\/a> sits atop a 19th-century spice warehouse that has been rejuvenated as a sophisticated cooperative building. Highlights include a living room and a den with sunset views, three bedrooms, a chef\u2019s kitchen, a library with built-in bookshelves, and an upper-level sunroom opening to an enviable terrace with a pergola and a sauna. Hints of vintage charm remain in rugged wood posts and beams, deeply hued hardwood floors, arched brick-trimmed windows, and a warming woodstove.<\/p>\n
