Four floors, now obsessively restored.
But there was a downside to living alone in a creaky, giant 19th-century home. At night, she heard knocks, objects dropping. She and her contractor saw what appeared to be a tool scuttling away on its own; terrified, Warner spent the night at a friend’s place. “The house had a little bit of a weird energy,” Warner says. Then Loran Hamilton, her partner, and Hamilton’s two children from a previous relationship moved in. The house’s eerie energy just “disappeared,” says Warner.
The two finished the job together. “We call her the designer. I am the refiner,” Hamilton says. She pushed Warner to get the kitchen done and helped pick out the marble countertop. Warner opened up the parlor floor — turning a window in the back into a door and adding a deck out back. On the top floor, Warner knocked out the ceiling, exposing beams and brick, then painted the old floors white — to create an artist studio they could both use. Often, they were almost strangely in sync.
When Allison Warner bought 266 Stuyvesant Avenue, it was a day care. She stripped the paint off moldings by hand, revealing a pattern that reminded her of Balinese temples.As Warner worked on the house, she kept the parlor floor as a barebones art studio, where she would sometimes roller skate: “I was living the bachelorette life.”The fireplace mantels and moldings are all original, but they aren’t currently functional.Warner extended one window frame, turning it into a door to a new back deck.
