Good Housekeeping magazine is placing the finishing touches on what promises to be an incredible renovation in Harlem, NY. Using input from Global Green and oversight and third-party verification by Steven Winter Associates, (one of only 18 LEEDS residential consultancies in the U.S.) the publication has completely gutted a classic brownstone and turned into an eco-friendly model of green building.
Radiant floor heat, solar panels, tankless water system, rainwater cachment, recycled tiles, hardwood, rugs, denim insulation, and efficient appliances are just a few of the features this new home will sport. Additionally, Good Housekeeping will work with Borst Organic Lawn Care to design the landscaping based on the key principles of sustainable gardening.
An official unveiling of the new LEED-certified building will take place on July 30th at a gala celebration, with several celebrities and other notables expected to be in attendance. Those interested in participating should contact Esther Levy for additional details.
The home will be open for public tours on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. All admission proceeds will benefit Go Green East Harlem, an initiative of the Manhattan Borough President’s Office.
