Classical architect Gil Schafer recently sold his New York apartment and I thought it would be fun to take a look inside. Listed by Compass, the home was described as a “meticulously crafted one bedroom parlor floor-thru on the Gold Coast of Greenwich Village.” Schafer had the apartment meticulously reconstructed in the Greek Revival style and the result is spectacular. If you don’t already own Gil’s books The Great American House and A Place to Call Home, I can’t recommend them highly enough. I have been consulting them often as we plan renovations and decoration of our new home.
