Almeida Street, Islington, London, N1

A stunning and imposing five story house on Almeida Street.

Description

This stunning five-storey house, meticulously renovated and thoughtfully designed to seamlessly blend modern luxury with preserved period features. The unique staircase running down the back of the house optimises space for all rooms throughout the house.

The lower ground floor has been extensively renovated, featuring a modern kitchen with fully integrated Fisher and Paykel appliances, poured concrete surfaces and bespoke cabinetry in poured liquid verdigris brass. The Quooker tap adds convenience, with hardware sourced from Beata Heuman and Jim Lawrence. Wall lights from Rose Uniacke illuminate the kitchen area. Recent remodeling introduced a laundry room with Bosch washer and dryer, and direct garden access is available from this level.

On the ground floor there is a stunning double reception room, with enhanced period features and a wrought iron terrace leading to the South-facing walled garden creating a perfect entertaining space.

On the first floor, an added double reception room welcomes occupants with its high ceilings and preserved original features, including distinctive cornicing, original floors, radiators, and a classic fireplace. Pierre Frey curtains in the office and Ottoline Devries wallpaper elevate the space, contributing to the overall refined design and charm of this floor.

The second floor houses the principal bedroom with an ensuite. The bespoke wardrobes, hand-painted by Tess Newall, feature Joseph Giles handles, while the interiors showcase oak shelves and soft-close drawers with Beata Heuman handles. Chimney breasts were removed to make room for the wardrobes. The bathroom fittings are all from Aston Matthews, with a Tadelakt shower and basin area matching the Bauwerk paint on the walls. Maison C wallpaper adorns the bathroom side of the dividing wall, and underfloor heating is installed in the bathroom area. Reclaimed wood floorboards complete the transformation.

On the third floor, a new Jack & Jill bathroom features a Bert & May tiled shower and underfloor heating. The smaller bedroom is enhanced with Pierre Frey wallpaper, introducing a new fitted wardrobe, carpet, and radiator. Meanwhile, the larger bedroom features Antoinette Poisson wallpaper, complementing the new carpet, fitted wardrobes, and radiators. Additionally, the ceiling was opened up to increase the overall height of the entire floor.
