Real Estate Swoon: 505 17th St.

If only I had 1.9 million, I might plop it down on this place.  I love all its traditional brownstone trimmings -- heart of pine floors, tin ceilings, decorative arches, and graciously feminine fireplaces, but also the light and airy feeling, and the soothing, old-time-y, yet simple way they refinished the bathrooms and kitchen. Especially the kitchen. Drool. What not to love about the enormous double-wide farm sink and the creamy vintage stove?

Thanks to the amazing truffle-hunter, Molly for digging up this listing in my hometown of Huntington. I can count one hand the amount of times I basically wouldn't change a thing when moving in. This couple is seriously stylish! Guh, I'm drooling over the kitchen with the mix of wood and marble and farmhouse sink and antique stove! Love the rustic black-white modern monochrome that is going on as well. And of course, I love, love the old bones of the home (the wood floors, the pitched ceilings and beams, the beautiful windows and large wood burning fireplaces). Plus, the beautiful outdoor patio and grounds and "barn" (c'mon, shed) that could later be a studio or guest cottage or what have you! If it wasn't on a hugely busy road, I would dragging Molly out to the suburbs post-haste!
