Odds are, when shopping for a black tie event or listening to stars walk the red carpet, you’ve heard the word “Marchesa.” Marchesa, which roughly translates to “noblewoman” in Italian, is a high-end fashion brand that dazzles onlookers with its romantic use of color, form, and details like delicate butterflies, sparkles, and flowers. Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig founded it in 2004 and have churned out breathtaking collections ever since. But, now you can get a glimpse into what a Marchesa home aesthetic could hypothetically look like.
Craig just listed her enchanting upstate New York barn-turned-residence and it’s a stunner. Simultaneously embracing comfortable country charm, boho textiles, and bold details, the 1920-built pad is asking $2.875 million.
It’s easy to see how this estate two hours north of New York City could be a perfect escape for a busy fashion designer. It has so many layers of joy to it. Just look at the English-inspired kitchen, the bright yellow bathroom with an antique clawfoot tub, and the primary suite’s private patio with an outdoor shower and cold plunge. Everything feels effortless yet has clearly been carefully thought-out. The generous primary suite, for example, offers privacy in a new wing of the 4,635-square-foot house while the other four bedrooms are concentrated in the back wing.
When it comes to where you want to hang out, the upstairs space is tough to beat. Craig, who has an eye for making alterations, converted the second floor into an massive open area that spans the width and length of the barn. Painting the walls white and thoughtfully curating seating and decor to differentiate “spaces,” it’s a dreamy zone for entertaining or unwinding while looking out at the property’s 6.5 acres of land. It’s also drenched in sunlight. The ceilings were brought up to the roofline and glass was added wherever possible.
Ready to hold a fashionable New York home? Annabel Taylor of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
