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.

Journey to Battery Park City in NYC to visit the bright and chic home that interior designer Lily Zingman, aka Lily Z., updated for some recent clients. With its unconventional design and bold interiors — from the playroom that was converted into a neutral home office with brass accents, casual furnishings, and custom millwork, to the dining room with a beautiful lacquer table and chrome-plated sculptural pieces from the MoMA Museum, to the kitchen with its light graphic backsplash and accent lights over the island, to the children’s wing that exudes a playful, youthful energy with its organic round rug, bean bags, and ample throw pillows — this talented designer definitely gave the 3-bedroom apartment a modern, minimalist refresh that adapts with a growing family as per her clients’ request.

Full Episode: Midcentury Montclair Home, Battery Park City Apt & Alix Traeger’s Condo | Open House

Join Open House host Sara Gore for more unforgettable tours of beautiful homes. We kick off the episode in a reimagined loft located in a former chocolate factory in the heart of Nolita in New York City. With its expansive great rooms, huge terraces, 6 bedrooms, and huge windows that frame downtown views, this home is a true showstopper.

We then venture across the Hudson River to Montclair, NJ where interior designer Andrew Suvalsky shows us around his “labor of love”: a renovated midcentury family home that maximizes flow and light. Thanks to a total gut renovation, Suvalsky was able to utilize the space to its best potential. From the entry foyer with the Venetian plaster on the ceiling and the wild ceramic tiles that lead all the way to the kitchen, to the versatile living room that features a color scheme of bright blues, golden yellows, and black & white, and is filled with a variety of interesting light options (art lights, floral lamps, and recess lights in the ceilings to create unique lighting for different moods through the day), to the open kitchen and dining space with its walnut cabinetry and white accents and whimsical-yet-moody wallpaper, this stunning abode strikes the perfect balance between being functional yet stylish.

Up next: Explore the West Hollywood condo of content creator and culinary tastemaker Alix Traeger. This vibrant chef, along her adorable pup Zander, shows us around her recently redesigned home that is as eclectic and delightful as she is — a space that not only helps her bring her creative endeavors to life on her various digital channels, but is also chic and comfortable to live in. Designed from top to bottom by her, this Los Angeles abode is influenced by her love and appreciation of Japanese & Scandinavian designs. From the big, comfy black couch and framed restaurant menus in the living room to the “super loud” contemporary bar area with the colorful coral countertop, Gucci wallpaper, and gold faucet that has filtered, sparkling, and boiling water on tap, to the wooden elements peppered throughout the area, this producer’s home — including the very heart of it: her amazing kitchen in which she treats us to a Persian cooking demonstration — radiates with joy and energy.

After that, we head back to the East Coast and journey to Battery Park City to visit the bright and chic home that interior designer Lily Zingman, aka Lily Z., updated for some recent clients. With its unconventional design and bold interiors — from the playroom that was converted into a neutral home office with brass accents, casual furnishings, and custom millwork, to the dining room with a beautiful lacquer table and chrome-plated sculptural pieces from the MoMA Museum, to the kitchen with its light graphic backsplash and accent lights over the island, to the children’s wing that exudes a playful, youthful energy with its organic round rug, bean bags, and ample throw pillows — this talented designer definitely gave the 3-bedroom apartment a modern, minimalist refresh that adapts with a growing family as per her clients’ request.

Next, we meet up with architect Maziar Behrooz and his client, author Amy Fusselman, at a home that he designed using industrial shipping containers and the surrounding natural environment in Amagansett, New York. Although the site presented some unique challenges, Behrooz and his team found unique geometric solutions — including a spacious living room (whose relaxing communal vibe inspired the book THE MEANS), the large staircase that produces an unobstructed line of sight from the landing and natural transition into the principle bedroom area, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows with views for days — that resulted in a warm, welcoming getaway for Fusselman and her family and sweet dog Twix.

We end the episode in Mar Visita, California with interior designer Jason Lai for a tour of one of his recent projects. With its multi-functioned design, a grand entrance, elegant touches (including a brick fireplace with a wooden mantle that he painted black to emphasis the walnut flooring), unique earthy textures, and splashes of color, this open concept space is a fresh take on modern living — or Lai best captures it, “all the yumminess that anyone would ever love in their own personal home.”
