Anthony Carrino: Remodeler, Designer, TV Personality, "Cousin"
Construction and design expert, business owner, and television personality...Anthony Carrino is a familiar face to fans of HGTV's Kitchen Cousins, and is a frequent contributor to the Ellen Degeneres, Rachael Ray, and Today shows. In addition to his work in television, Anthony has been in the construction and design industry for nearly two decades. He ran his own general contracting business with his father for 12 years, and he also continues to service private clients in both the residential and commercial design spaces.
Now, the designer has become the client as Anthony tackles his own major renovation project--transforming the historic 19th-century firehouse he and his father used as the office and storage space for their contracting business into a private residence for himself, his fiancee Jacey, and their rescue pup Rossi.
The original home to JCFD's Hook & Ladder No. 3, the building was purchased by my father from the city of Jersey City in 2009, and we converted it into the headquarters of our construction company. You may recognize it from one of our HGTV series, where it was featued prominently.
After my father retired, he mentioned he wanted to sell the building--and I jumped at the opportunity to purchase it for two reasons. One, the memories and nostalgia are tangible; and two, it's a freaking FIREHOUSE from the 1800s! There's no way I could pass that up.
Now, I'm working on converting the interior from office and garage space to my permanant residence, incorporating an industrial-chic aesthetic with nods to mid-century modern style--all while staying true to the existing design elements. The building is is 3,775 square feet (SF). After the renovation, we'll have 715 SF of living space on the groud floor, as well as a 515 SF garage and a 610 SF rental unit. Upstairs will be 1500 SF of living space, capped by a 710 SF roof deck. The basement will add an additional 1,500 SF. And yes, before you ask...I will keep the original fire pole, so I can slide down to my car!
The original home of Jersey City Fire Department's Hook & Ladder No. 3 is filled with history and nostalgia. Stay tuned as we follow Anthony's remodeling project!
