211 Elizabeth Street embraces the architectural vernacular of its historic New York neighborhood - and stands out for its use of traditional materials, handcrafted details and classic design. These are real homes made from real materials in one of New York's last remaining authentic neighborhoods. The celebrated Designer Architects Roman & Williams have created 15 one and two bedroom bespoke homes in a substantial 7 story red brick building on the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Streets. For those looking for a refuge from the flood of modern, glassy, glitzy condominiums, but with the shininess of new development, look no further. 211 Elizabeth Street brings pre-war grace and charm downtown in a new construction package. Each of its 15 residences is distinctive and gracious, and in direct contrast to the recent wave of geometric residential design. From its traditional design to its use of hand-crafted materials, the classic nature of this building is sure to make old-school feel new and desirable once more. The box-like building of red brick located on the corner of Prince and Elizabeth Streets isn’t intended to turn heads. Instead the designers, Roman & Williams, made it a point to incorporate the building’s design into the other structures of the neighborhood. This stress on authenticity adds substance and personality to the luxury condo development that is hard to come by in an age when the futuristic look is utilized at the expense of aesthetics.
This respect for tradition is as important inside the homes as out. Designed by the same company that built the exterior’s personality, the interiors take on a pre-war ambiance that leaves a distinct mark on each unit. Nine-foot high glass doors separate the living and dining rooms, and a large wood-burning fireplace serves as the focal point of the family area. Walnut herringbone parquet flooring adds a unique charm to the units.
Historically, designers provide contrast in different rooms to separate area functions. It’s no different here. The kitchen, with dark woods and old-style hanging lights is a world away from the master bath and its sterile efficiency; walls and floors of Calacatta gold marble in the bath whisk the resident away to modern Europe, where double vanities and mirrors encourage intimacy during even the most mundane of tasks.
Each unit of 211 Elizabeth is crafted to be unique. This is especially true of the 2,189 square-foot penthouse; it is a building in its own right, sitting atop the Elizabeth structure like a sentinel. Twelve glass doors are spaced evenly across the unit, each leading to the full-length terrace. Above, there’s room to entertain with a trellised grilling area and solarium, complete with wood-burning fireplace. Finally, a hot tub and shower area can be a good place for a relaxing moment of meditation.
211 Elizabeth is located in the little-recognized Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan. Originally part of Little Italy, Nolita has evolved to become its own unique corner of New York, with trendy boutiques and restaurants, and a family-friendliness that is standard across the city.
