A one-of-a-kind home with spaces both soaring and intimate - Home & Garden - Architecture


Some property hunters are looking for tradition. Give them a Tudor, a Mediterranean or a Colonial and they're happy. Others have a hard time making up their mind what they want. Not the owners of 3125 Arlington Ave. They were so sure of their dream house that they designed it themselves and had it built to their specifications.



The result is a unique contemporary home that is full of surprises - from rooms that soar with double-height ceilings and sculptural stairways to intimate spaces for sitting or media-watching.

Throughout the apartment, the floors are finished in Brazilian cherry planks.

The first floor houses a large entry hall, a soaring living room where a wood-burning fireplace vies for attention with the aforementioned stairway, a formal dining room that can easily accomodate twelve guests for a sit-down dinner, a powder room and an up-to-the-minute new eat-in kitchen with access to the patio and garden.
