A New York Home Defined by English Interiors and Coastal Americana Design

In the quiet pocket of Westchester County, designer Stephanie Perez O’Boyle has performed a sophisticated architectural transformation.

Tasked with a 1,900-square-foot 1980s "white box" devoid of character, Stephanie bypassed the expected modern minimalist tropes, opting instead to build a sense of permanence from the inside out. The result is a home that feels less like a suburban condo and more like a storied estate gathered over decades. The aesthetic—a refined dialogue between English pastoral charm and New England maritime heritage—is anchored by a staggering collection of vintage finds.

Sourced with a journalist’s eye for narrative, these pieces ground the home in a sense of "inherited" history. From the precision of the custom millwork (hand-crafted by her father-in-law) to the moody, pigment-rich palette of Portugal and the British Isles, every room serves as a passport to Stephanie’s travels and Colombian roots.
