Irving Chateau

After living with a cramped, outdated kitchen that didn’t reflect their home’s character — or support two people cooking at once — the homeowners were ready for a thoughtful transformation. The redesigned space brings back the 1937 home’s historic charm while improving function and flow for everyday living. A new layout opens up the kitchen, making it easier to move through and cook together, while a walk-in pantry adds both light and organization. Terrazzo flooring, Italian marble surfaces, and antique lighting sourced from around the world create a timeless, curated feel. One of the home’s most unique features is a hidden bookshelf door that leads to the primary suite — offering easy access while remaining invisible to guests. With every detail carefully considered, the updated kitchen feels like it’s always been part of the original home — elegant, inviting, and designed to last.
