HOME TOURS: Stunning Renovations in New York City, Los Angeles & Palm Springs | Open House TV

HOME TOURS: Stunning Renovations in New York City, Los Angeles & Palm Springs | Open House TV

In this week’s all-new episode of Open House, our wonderful host Sara Gore invites viewers into 5 breathtaking homes full of unique details and stylish design that are located in New York City, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs.

First up: Calli Sarkesh shows us around an exceptional residence located at 122 West 73rd St in New York City. Originally built in 1900 and recently renovated by Murdock Solon Architects, this Upper West Side single-family townhouse spans over 6,600 sq ft and boasts 6 levels, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and — plot twist — THREE powder rooms. From the parlor floor — which serves as the centerpiece of the home and houses a beautiful kitchen, formal dining room with soaring ceilings, and dining room with a fireplace that’s ideal for intimate gatherings —to the primary suite with a sumptuous marble bathroom and 20ft long walk-in closet, a sun deck on the very top floor, and the private sanctuary that is an outdoor bamboo garden, this brownstone teems with elegance and meticulous details.

Next, we zip over to the West Coast to take a look around interior designer Melissa Warner’s latest project: a maximalist home in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles that pays homage to her client’s love of tailored fashion and bespoke luxury, while serving as a masterclass on how to incorporate bold statement pieces to add interesting dimension to a space without having them compete with each other. From the tiger wallpaper in the dark-and-moody foyer that packs an unforgettable wow factor upon entering the house, to the dining room that takes her client’s fondness for beautiful menswear into account with plaid on the rug, bouclair on the chairs, and pleated dressmaker details on the drapery, Warner’s personalized touches show how even in a large space, it’s often the meticulous little details that make a big impression.

After that, we venture over to sunny Palm Springs, California to visit with interior designer Christopher Kennedy as he invites us into his forever home. Built in 1978 and spanning 3200 square feet, this gorgeous home honors the ‘70s aesthetic through neutral tones and interesting touches reminiscent of that era, including: a sumptuous shag rug, a brutalist-style chandelier, curved sofas covered in a beautiful white boucle fabric, textured throw pillows, and more. From the expansive great room with views of the golf course and San Jacinto Mountains right outside to the welcoming kitchen with its sand-colored oak cabinetry that references a desert landscape with a sand mirror tiles with an antique finish that help bounce light around, this home is full of nostalgic statement pieces that pay homage to the original architecture while also serving as a relaxing retreat that’s perfect for entertaining.

We then return to New York City to join architect B. Alex Miller for a tour of the white box Battery Park City apartment that he and his team transformed into a welcoming residence that offers comfort, functionality, and plenty of custom architectural detail. From the marble insertion that greets you at the door to the primary quarter of the apartment that features staggered millwork panels that expand as you move forward and provides visual interest along with storage — and to the main living space that contains the seating area that features a combination of cool & warm tones through the furnishings, anchor rug, and wooden lamps that exudes a warm light in the evening; dining space with a giant airplane-esque pendant hovering above the table that helps give it a sense of place; and a blue Mediterranean marble kitchen that captures the tones of the Hudson River — this home offers a warm, minimal, and inviting respite to the busy city outside.

We finish this week’s Open House episode with a trip to an impressive art-filled Greenwich Village penthouse that was reimagined by Irish-born interior designer Clodagh. She stresses the importance of using holistic design to foster a sense of wellbeing, which becomes evident throughout this glorious duplex loft — especially with the magnificent art collection on display and a transformative environment that is as modern as it is serene.

Full Episode: Style & Influence in New York City and Bel Air | Open House TV

Full Episode: Style & Influence in New York City and Bel Air | Open House TV

Join host Sara Gore for an Open House episode filled with breathtaking estates that redefine luxury and entertainment, as well as the impressively designed homes of style influencers.

We kick things off at 101 Warren Street, apartment 3210. What do you get when you combine two penthouses with an #AD100 designer and an award-winning staging team? This sleek abode. See firsthand how professional stager Cheryl Eisen and her talented team transformed this light-filled modern duplex in Tribeca into an entertainer’s dream home — full of light & airy low-profile furniture; simple textured rugs to create a sense of calm against the striking patterned floors — as well as clear delineation between rooms; and stylish accents (including curved pieces and sculptural chairs in the main living space to add movement, lime-green cabinetry in the kitchen for a pop of color and whimsy, and curated paintings for a modern touch) that further elevate this beautiful home’s indoor-outdoor flow and panoramic views of New York City.

Right after that, we drop by the stunning New York City apartment of lifestyle influencer, entrepreneur, and design enthusiast Patrick Janelle. Located in the vibrant Flatiron District, this stylish loft functions as both his home and office workspace — and embodies an aesthetic that dovetails Parisian elegance with country charm. From the dining room with its antique farmhouse table, midcentury chairs, brass candle scones and high ceilings that are pressed tin to the main living area with its pièce de résistance — a massive mirror that was an architectural salvage — and contemporary lounge sofa, low coffee table, and working wood-burning fireplace enveloped by an exposed brick wall, this dream home is perfect for living, working, and entertaining.

Next up: 1055 Stradella Road! Follow Rayni Williams right through the doors of a 10ft oak entryway as she shows Open House viewers around a brand-new estate in Bel Air, California — and prepare to be mesmerized by its 13.6K square feet of deluxe details. From the dramatic foyer which features a sculptural staircase and cascading chandelier to a spacious grand kitchen with a prominent curved Travertino island to the formal living room that boasts a solid stone mantle piece with built-in bookshelves, this home mixes organic elements with architectural sophistication. Complete with warm and natural finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, 3,000 lb stone soaking tub in the primary suite, and an ocean-facing terrace with an outdoor kitchen, pool area, and views that span from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean, this California property exudes opulence, elegance, and the ultimate indoor/outdoor living vibes.

We then venture over to the Greenwich Village apartment of Danielle Carolan, content creator and co-host of the top-rated podcast “Gals on the Go” — or she lovingly refers to it: Hotel Danielle. Danielle’s goal when designing her home was to create a space that tells a story while exuding ultimate relaxation and luxury vibes. And she achieved this desired aesthetic through plush white couches, oak accents, and pops of color throughout. As for personal touches? There are many delightful ones to point out, including: a frame featuring her collection of matchboxes from favorite restaurants and bars, a Florida license plate from her first car ever, an enviable walk-in closet directly inspired by her obsession with ‘Hannah Montana’ while growing up, and setting up her infamous large OOTD mirror — in all its ornate glory — prominently in her main living area.

We finish the episode with a trip to restaurant entrepreneur Brenna Gilbert’s lovely one bedroom apartment located in the heart of New York City’s Nolita neighborhood, which she shares with her husband Andrew and their adorable bulldog Kuma. Her ethos is “no moment is to small for a celebration” and you soon see this come to life as soon as you step through the door and are greeted with an abundance of verdant greenery — which Brenna purposefully placed there to serve as a breath of fresh air from the bustling city. And because her home is in such a busy area, Brenna uses a cohesive contrast of period pieces and contemporary design, as well as a comfortable and warm atmosphere through soft materials, versatile furniture, meaningful art, and a large area rug to make it feel this sanctuary more calming and zen.

Full Episode: 5 Bright & Stylish Homes in New York City & Los Angeles | Open House TV

Full Episode: 5 Bright & Stylish Homes in New York City & Los Angeles | Open House TV

Ready to step into more gorgeous luxury residences in New York and California? Join Open House host Sara Gore for a tour of five spacious homes located on both the East and West Coast!

Kicking things off: Dramatic 360-degree views of Manhattan (including the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty), two private wraparound terraces, exclusive elevator access, 12.5-foot high ceilings, a lavish great room with a two-sided gas fireplace, an elegant library with expansive glass walls, a spacious media room perfect for enjoying a game of pool or hosting a cozy movie night with friends and family, a custom kitchen with natural oak cabinetry and 15-foot island, and plenty of closet space. Is there anything this 6,300-square-foot penthouse, located at the top of 551 West 21st Street, doesn’t offer? Experience more of this impressive 4-bedroom residence via a tour by none other than Frances Katzen.

Next up: Levik Stephan shows viewers around 1443 Devlin Dr. in Los Angeles, California. Perched in the Hollywood Hills above the famed Sunset Strip, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom architectural abode (designed by Harry Gesner in the 1960s) contains 6,500 square feet of signature design flourishes of midcentury modern glamour, exposed natural wood beams, private screening room with a temperature-controlled section for wine, voluminous bedroom suites, a pocketed bar at the corner of the property that leads into a sunken living (that contains a stainless steel fireplace that’s encapsulated by sleek stone and ledge for lounging) that’s as relaxing as it is lush, an outdoor mosaic pool area with cinematic views of Beverly Hills and the Pacific Ocean.

After that, we step inside the refined New York City home of Alice Chun — an architect, philanthropist, and social entrepreneur who happens to be the inventor of the SolarPuff™ and MegaPuff (collapsible and affordable solar lights designed with the principles of origami to help underserved communities). Located in Peter Cooper Village, this Gramercy apartment is full of good books, family keepsakes, and travel mementos — all while embracing an aesthetic that is modern, sleek, and natural. Much like Alice’s approach to award-winning & sustainable designs, this welcoming abode — which also acts as a living laboratory for her prototypes — encompasses beauty, wonder, and awe.

We then travel to Crestwood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles to join Adam Blackman — co-founder of the Blackman Cruz showroom and co-author of the book ‘Beauty & Mischief: The Design Alchemy of Blackman Cruz’ — for a tour of his lovely internationally-styled home. Located in the Crestwood Hills section of the city, this renovated midcentury abode — originally designed in 1949 by architects A. Quincy Jones and Whitney R. Smith — consists of unusual and beautiful furniture pieces throughout that are great conversation starters, including: a “miracle” chandelier; vintage “Papa Bear” black leather chair that’s comfortable for curling up with a good book; bronze Gazelle-line dining table set by Dan Johnson, cinder block fireplace with a blue painting hanging over it; table compromised of 400 music records bolted together and cast; and a super rare 1967 Ford automobile bound to make any vintage car collector’s heart race extra fast.

We end the episode on a high note (quite literally) with Dana Power at a duplex penthouse located at 385 West 12th Street in New York City. Nestled on a quiet cobblestone enclave in the West Village, this 3,844-square-foot duplex penthouse boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three exclusive terraces with breathtaking city vistas; loft-like proportions; a swinging wall that closes off to separate the den from the kitchen; private elevator access that leads into a double-height solarium that sets the stage for the most enchanting ambiance framing the river views right outside; rooftop oasis with a 50-foot infinity-edge lap pool, jacuzzi, grilling stations and landscaped deck; and plenty of natural light throughout (courtesy of its numerous floor-to-ceiling windows).
