*Jewel Box 1-Bedroom at Roman and Williams' Acclaimed 211 Elizabeth Street*
Quality, charm, and craftsmanship abound at 211 Elizabeth Street-- an intimate, seven-story building with just 15 residences designed by the acclaimed Roman and Williams, marking their first-ever ground-up project. At first glance, the building blends seamlessly into its historic Nolita surroundings, but a closer look reveals striking brickwork and classic wood double-hung windows that quietly set it apart.
"Roman and Williams chose to reject modern construction trends in favor of a more traditional approach and hired a family of Irish masons to lay the handcrafted brick facade of the building, a decision that won the building and the firm the 2010 Palladio Award.
The firm's goal in the design of this building was to create a structure with a sense of materiality, rigor, craftsmanship, and construction that echoes the heyday of New York City residential architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries."
-- Roman and Williams
The apartment is inviting and open, with bespoke details throughout--custom herringbone solid walnut floors, high-gloss black oil-painted trim, and grand double-hung windows overlooking charming Elizabeth Street. In the living area, the centerpiece is a wood-burning fireplace with an oversized mantle, flanked by elegant French doors leading to the bedroom.
The handcrafted kitchen is a masterpiece: Danish wood countertops, hand-painted black cabinetry, Roman and Williams-designed brass hardware, a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and built-in Miele appliances--all seamlessly integrated with the design's classic sensibility.
Through the French doors is a serene and spacious bedroom with an en-suite bath featuring radiant heated Calacatta marble floors and walls, a large soaking tub, and solid brass fixtures that complete the timeless design. A private storage cage transfers with the unit.
211 Elizabeth is located in the heart of Nolita--one of New York's most vibrant and coveted neighborhoods--just moments from world-class shopping, dining, and culture, with convenient access to the B, D, F, M, R, and W trains.
