Property Description
Like a fine wine, the process of designing and creating residences out of a historic school gymnasium cannot be rushed, nor can the character and history that imbue it be replicated today. The style and character that emerge when designing a residence out of a historic structure is the equivalent of “finding” the statue of David within the marble slab.
Coming home to this magnificent Greek revival building reminds you at every turn and detail of the rich history of the building and the campus of National Park Seminary, a former girls' finishing school. **
One hundred years ago students were conspiring in these hallways to meet boys and dreaming of dances and romances while lit by the sun pouring through the towering glass which now graces three levels of this one-of-a-kind residence. This is #203 in “the Gymnasium” at National Park Seminary.
The owner may sense the squeak of sneakers, the thump of a basketball, a swoosh followed by the faint swell of cheers, horns, and clapping; basketball players one hundred years ago dribbled and shot from the very boards that are now the floor in the third level loft. Shelving reminiscent of grade school “cubbies” span the perimeter of the loft. Yesteryear they may have held a gym suit, socks, and sneakers; today, they hold a collection of books or “objets d'art” reminding the lucky owner of past travels, fond memories, and experiences.
A library ladder that would have been a standard in a school library one hundred years ago serves a worthy purpose today to reach these high shelves from the second (bedroom) tier. When not in use it slides in and hugs the wall occupying little space while adding a design element not found in run-of-the-mill new construction.
The three levels of the unit are terraced above the space below. The wall of the second (bedroom) tier is a glass half wall providing a gallery view of the space while bathing it in natural light.
The “new” in this one-of-a-kind residence is state-of-the-art from the white kitchen with marble waterfall island to the sparkling white tiled baths, there is nothing old or outdated here. The clever architect has married the best of the old to the best of the new with a harmonious and enduring blend of features and finishes.
*This is not old; this is not new, it is not a condo (except as a form of ownership). This is a stand-alone work of architectural design art that is only for the most discerning buyer. You know who you are. No cookie-cutter-condo will satisfy your needs. This is the one!
