Property Description

Featured in Dwell Magazine! Welcome to 326 Gower St -- set in Larchmont Village, moments from Cookbook, Larchmont Wine & Cheese, and Go Get Em Tiger, and many more. A complete restoration by A FRAME LAB pairs quiet minimalism with exacting craft. The main house (3BD/2.5BA) unfolds across European English oak floors beneath generous aluminum-framed windows that wash each room in soft, even light. A solid white-oak door and polished-nickel hardware introduce the textured palette that continues in the living room, where a wood-burning fireplace rests on a hearth of handmade ceramic from Nagoya, Japan, all gently illuminated by an original 1930s Franta An pendant. The kitchen, anchored by 1930s Bauhaus pendants from Germany, is precise and architectural: Meoded Venetian plaster, panel-ready Thermador and Fisher & Paykel; a Calacatta Crema Delicato waterfall on a custom island with built-in storage; and a full-slab backsplash edged with a low marble ledge at the pot filler. A bar area finished in custom-fabricated limestone extends the workspace for coffee service or cocktails. Throughout, Watermark Brooklyn unlacquered brass and Mi & Gei hardware add tactile warmth, while lighting blends provenance and modernityan original Josef Hurka Functionalism pendant alongside contemporary pieces from Bocci, Soho Home, and In Common Withso the house reads softly day and night. Bathrooms are about proportion and texture: the powder layers Roman Clay with a Verona mosaic in Carrara + Nero Marquina, a Rohl faucet, and a restored 1950s sconce; the shared bath sets Italian terrazzo underfoot with a thin limestone vanity and a clean ceramic tub/shower; the primary suite opens by slider to the yard while its Roman Clay bath pairs Fez zellige with Japanese ceramic floor tile and a thick limestone vanity, and its bespoke walk-in closet finished with Lo & Co tumbled-brass knobs. Landscape is edited and Mediterranean in feelcustom-pigmented concrete, decomposed-granite dining pads, silvery olive trees, an antique Chinese vessel, and an Olive Ateliers limestone trough fountainso interiors and garden read as one calm sequence. The smart house also features video doorbells, built-in speakers, integrated WiFi boosters, and wraparound security cameras all seamlessly controlled via your phone or built-in iPad. The detached ADU (1BD/1BA) is a high-end extension of the house with pitched ceilings, considered glazing, Italian Milia marble counters and a Spanish marble mosaic backsplash, a full-size refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and its own washer/dryer; the bath continues the language with handmade ceramic tile, local cement tile, polished-nickel fixtures, and an oversized mirror with designer lighting. Use it as a luxurious guest suite or a design-forward income opportunityeither way, the property delivers refined, light-filled living, blending new work with designer touches of history on a quiet street in the heart of Larchmont Village.
