About This Home
As of May 2025Every inch of this exquisitely reimagined residence, redesigned and remodeled by Janette Mallory of Janette Mallory Interiors, embodies artistry, craftsmanship, and the soul of Southern Italy. Thoughtfully curated with the finest materials from custom Venetian plaster walls to hand-selected antique limestone fireplaces this home is a harmonious blend of historic elegance and modern refinement.New Fleetwood doors and windows invite in natural light, while aged brass fixtures from London and bespoke iron and linen window treatments add depth and character. The heart of the home, a custom-designed kitchen, boasts Calacatta Viola marble countertops, Waterworks fixtures, and a LaCanche range, elevating every culinary experience.A walk-in wine cellar by Cellar Masters, custom bar cabinetry, and an imported Tuscan fireplace in the family room create an atmosphere of sophisticated warmth. The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, French antique limestone, and a luxurious Arabescato marble bath.Outdoors, every detail from hand-laid stonework to lush Mediterranean-inspired landscaping was meticulously designed to transport you to the Italian countryside. A masterpiece of timeless design and European sensibility, this home is truly La Dolce Vita on 20th Street.
