Hazelton Residence II

53 Hazelton pairs a restored Victorian brick facade with a fully reimagined interior and rear addition, set on a quiet Yorkville street within view of the downtown skyline. Inside, a sculptural steel and walnut staircase, set with an antique clock inside a hand worked wire panel, anchors the home and carries daylight down through a paneled skylight. The kitchen and dining rooms open in sequence toward a landscaped rear garden and stone patio with a built in fireplace, while the bathrooms are finished in book matched marble, walnut millwork, and brass or matte black fixtures. A rooftop deck completes the home with an open view over the tree canopy to the city beyond. The result reads as heritage restoration and contemporary craft working in the same register, with material and proportion doing the talking.
