In this Open House tour, step inside the stunning Art Deco duplex of film producer Dorothy Berwin in Midtown East! Once the home of Senator Jacob Javits, this iconic space had remained untouched for decades—until Dorothy’s bold vision brought it to life. She carefully preserved the home’s 1930s architectural history, from the vintage floors to the classic details, while infusing it with a modern warmth that’s perfect for entertaining.

From the moment you step into the entrance hall, you’re greeted by a 1950s vintage green Italian sofa that immediately invites conversation. The bar area is a true highlight—a wonderful touch when it comes for hosting guests. In the living room, soaring ceilings, large original windows, and a majestic fireplace all help create an atmosphere of sophistication, balanced by burnt orange furniture to infuse a cozy vibe as well.

Upstairs, the mezzanine dining room flows effortlessly into the kitchen which features a playful bubblegum pink resin table crafted by Belgium artist Sabine Marcelis — a welcoming spot for friends to gather around. And as for the primary bedroom? It’s an elegant retreat designed for ultimate comfort with a tall bed and traditional desk that perfectly frames the window. The luxurious bathroom, with its rich stone finishes, balances old-world charm with New York City living.

Overall, Dorothy’s thoughtful renovation honors the integrity of this lovely abode, while making it a functional space for contemporary living and unforgettable memories.
