We doubled the size and value of this little row house. Our Prospect Heights addition set a precedent for the new historic district. With a two-story rear extension and an extra floor on top, it was the largest addition that Landmarks had ever approved in Prospect Heights.
The rear addition opens the house to winter sun while extending the living spaces into the backyard. It also cleared space for a luminous kitchen of high-gloss white cabinets and yellow glass backsplashes.
To top it off, our new penthouse is all master suite, with a private sun deck and a commanding view of Prospect Heights. Etched glass walls diffuse the daylight. The bathrooms have segregated functions for multiple users. And our open-riser stair links new and old floors.
