Sun-Drenched Designer Colonial with Modern Luxury Upgrades
About the Space

This sun-drenched home serves as a sophisticated "blank canvas" for creators, featuring original plaster moldings, designer fixtures, and a high-end aesthetic that feels both historic and ahead of its time. The Designer Kitchen & Hub The heart of the home is a recently reimagined, open-concept masterpiece that balances professional utility with editorial-ready design: • Signature Backsplash: A floor-to-ceiling installation of vibrant orange tile provides a stunning Mid-Century Modern pop of color, perfect for food photography or lifestyle branding. • The Waterfall Island: A massive quartz island with seating for three serves as a central stage for cooking demonstrations, product shoots, or a collaborative team hub. • Organic Modern Aesthetic: Warm white-oak cabinetry, sleek black hardware, and oversized copper-toned pendant lights create a warm, high-end atmosphere. • Pro-Grade Power: Fully integrated luxury appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador gas cooktop, and double ovens, offer the functional power required by culinary professionals.

Health and Safety Measures
The "Blank Canvas" Surface Reset • Disinfection: All high-touch surfaces—including the waterfall quartz island, Allmilmo cabinetry handles, and designer light switches—are sanitized using hospital-grade, non-abrasive cleaners. • The Orange Tile Detail: Our signature floor-to-ceiling kitchen tile is hand-buffed to remove any smudges, ensuring a high-gloss, editorial-ready backdrop for your cameras. • Appliance Polishing: The Sub-Zero refrigerator and Thermador suite are treated with stainless-steel protectors to ensure a streak-free, professional appearance. 2. Floor Care & Preservation • Parquet Protection: Our 1920s parquet and hardwood floors are vacuumed with soft-surface attachments and microfiber-mopped. • The "Shoes-Off" Guarantee: To maintain this standard, the home is a footwear-free zone. We provide a freshly stocked "Shoe Station" at the entrance with sterilized indoor slippers and disposable booties for your entire crew. 3. Production & Talent Prep Areas • Restroom Sanitization: All four upstairs ensuite bathrooms undergo a full deep-clean. We polish the brass fixtures and treat mirrors with anti-fog/anti-streak solutions so they are ready for hair and makeup setups. • Fresh Linens: We provide single-use, high-quality white hand towels and premium organic hand soaps in all five bathrooms. 4. Air Quality & Lighting • Luminous Clarity: We hand-dust all designer light fixtures and recessed "can" lighting. This ensures your DP (Director of Photography) has maximum light output and no visible dust motes in frame. • Ventilation: The home is aired out between bookings, and we utilize high-efficiency air filters to maintain a neutral, fresh scent without the use of heavy artificial perfumes.
