Inside Alfredo Paredes' Shelter Island, NY Home

- Join interior designer Alfredo Paredes on a tour of his family’s laid-back retreat on Shelter Island, the quietly stylish neighbor of Long Island’s glitzier Hamptons towns. Originally built in 1870 as part of a grand Victorian resort, the charming home perched on Dering Harbor is now where Alfredo, his husband, and their two children spend their summers playing tennis, hosting lemonade stands, and relaxing by the water.
After first overseeing a major renovation of the historic house, Paredes-who spent 33 years at Ralph Lauren Home as the eye behind the brand’s stores, restaurants, and the occasional Lauren residence-got to work filling it with a mix of antiques, flea-market finds, and furnishings that are able to withstand a few wet bathing suits (or a wet dog!). The result is an interior that’s weathered and attenuated and saves room for whimsy, but where nothing calls too much attention to itself. And with views like that, there’s no need to overdo it!

OMG I am crazy about this place! So lovely and unpretentious. You can feel the love. I also really connect with lighting a home that sets a mood. Just perfect.
One of the BEST home tours EVER! I will probably watch this a million times. You want to just soak it all up. The interview was amazing… ❤️
I so agree!!
We are so happy you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more Alfredo...
Same here! ❤
I totally agree! All of it is amazing!
Agreed
A home is more than walls and a roof. A home is a feeling first, last and always. This man gets it and explains it in poetic terms. This segment is a work of art.🙂🙂❤️💯
Absolutely Stunning! Alfredo's narration takes you there and you can just feel the love in his home, the peace in his voice and the beauty that surrounds him in his perfectly collected and curated home. Great job Schumacher1889!
Beautiful!
@@MariaReyes-te7lk Can we be his neighbor?! It's like heaven!
Thank you! We're so happy you enjoyed!!
Wow I loooove his house. This is right up my alley😍❤️😍 I wish this video was longer!!!!!!
Don't worry, more Alfredo content is on the way!!
'Am I dramatic? Yeah, sure. But I am not drama.' I love that. Love all of it. Beautiful, thoughtful, soulful, unpretentious and warm.
Wow, this is by far the best house I have ever seen! What a lovely guy, such great style. Love how he said about his daughter wanting flower sheets and she has them. The view! Spectacular
Not too much, not too little, just right. Oozes warm, tender elegance. Very special home. Well done.
Finally a realistic person! I was sick and tired of seeing the rooms those look like museum spaces... He is live, vivid, tasteful and enjoying! Thank you for making this video!
Perfect taste. I love seeing these homes that look alive and brimming with personality vs. staged.
I grew up in Maine, so I am drawn to this exquisite atmosphere - this home feels as thought it is a an old friend, a comfortable sweater & family, I adore it ❤
Oh, my. This is FABULOUS. I am absolutely swooning. Every single room, space, corner, shelf, wall- I literally was gasping. Incredible.
Yes, I felt same way watching this for 20th time!
What a beautiful place you and your husband have created your children will have fond memories of growing up in a beautiful house
This is what a wonderful home looks like. It is beautiful and not made to shock you, but to be lived in. Flawless taste!
What a beautiful home. I appreciated Alfredo's honesty with the struggle in which direction to take the home. He nailed it, it is simply stunning, definately what dreams are made of. Imagine being a child and having the stars glowing in the dark as you drift off to sleep. I think you would remember that for the rest of your life!!
Right?! We want to come back as Alfredo's son in our next life!
I watch this clip over and over again .... simply cant get enough of it. For me the BEST house ever!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
So have I.
🥰🥰🥰
The most beautiful, soulful home! Alfredo is a genius and his work is beyond inspirational.
I adore everything about this house. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful life. Your notes on kids...and husbands...is spot on.
Beautiful house! Those children are so lucky to have such a kind and involved father. I wish I had a father like that.
This is the stuff dreams are made of. This clean simple feel is amazing. A house the kids will always see as home. Stunning❤
Wow, is all I can say! My wife and I were blown away by this gorgeous home. Would love to stay or own a place like this one day.
Wow is right! Glad you enjoyed :)
Every inch of this home feels cozy, warm and inviting. Adorned but not decorated and the lighting enhances all the spaces. A gem to watch! Are you accepting guests for the weekend?
The lighting!!
Such a beautiful home you’ve created with your family! Impeccable decor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I literally don’t think there’s a more perfect home…this one is perfection 👌👌👌
Bless his heart......it is A Wonderful Life❤
I want to live there too! You just feel the peace. "When I'm here with my family, I'm living my dream life!" That is what makes home..."home"! Love that! Seems as though Ralph Lauren doesn't only collect beautiful things...but beautiful people. Most of my favorite episodes include talented people who have Ralph as part of their history.
What I like is that he wants his home to be family right. He is not worrying about what guests think or how comfortable they will feel. A real home. Beautiful.
What an amazing, beautiful, cozy and non pretentious home! It looks loved and well lived in, amazing ❤️
This house is full of light and love. I love it and living in such an amazing place such as Shelter Island it is historic and lovely.
This house is the definition of "less is more". It has so much soul and nothing is out of place.
I will be watching this one again and again and again...
Beautiful, coastal home. So cozy and peaceful. I bet the sunsets are just magnificent! 😊
I wish that I had a precious daddy like you….GOD BLESS YOU for being so good to your youngins. Thankyou for sharing your pretty home…hugs carolyn from Columbus GA…I have watched it five times in case I missed something!!!!
Oh my goodness! 😍😍 Another exquisite, gentle and intelligent home that manages to feel warm regardless of whatever colour palette Alfredo and his husband have chosen in the rooms and communal areas. Glorious. Who wouldn't want a summer house like this one?! 🥰
I love the soothing, consistent color pallette, all the artwork, the simplicity. Just lovely.
I am so jealous…..what a glorious place….Thankyou for sharing with us….I always wanted a doll house growing up….my dad promised me but never ever delivered….you are a WONDERFUL DADDY FOR GIVING your daughter one and a playhouse outside…you must build a fort for your so. When he gets about four..my son loved his…..hugs from carolyn in Columbus Georgia
Love this home. My kind of style.
Lucky man. I liked it when you said, "Yes, I'm dramatic but I don't like drama." Sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.
No need to describe the perfect house as this is it, in all of its layered beauty. Relaxed yet intentionally purposed, every space hits just the right notes.
Magical. These children are having a magical upbringing. This house is everything.
It’s cozy, dramatic, and full of character. I love it.
One of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen!!! So warm, cozy and inviting! The details are simply lovely!
Absolute perfection. A real home with real memories. I can feel literally how the home, your children and your partner has changed you. Great taste. Class act
Oh this was really beautiful. ❤ The home itself is cozy and warm and nostalgic, but not kitschy; lovely, dreamy vibes.
Just watching this has brought my blood pressure down - it’s not a house but a beautiful home, filled with love, great taste and a passion to enjoy life - I Luved it ❤
This house is a house you want to grow up in. It’s so warm and cozy and the property is absolutely magical.
Well I LOVE everything about this home! The location the fixtures, furnishings and of course a refuge from the crazy world. Reminds me of our summer home in the Shuswap British Columbia Canada. Many wonderful memories will be made here. iLOve the celestial sky for your son's room. LOVE lives here!
I'm in LOVE !!! Everything is done so perfectly. It's such an easy house to fall in love with. His collection of books, pottery and birds on the walls, the photography. Alfredo's beautiful spirit comes through in every room. Can't get enough of this house. Please do more videos. You're such an inspiration.
Gorgeous property and home. Reminds me of my grandparent's cottage at the beach in CT, where I spent all my summers. So cozy and warm, relaxed and casual. What a lovely family home, thanks for sharing. Your taste is wonderful.
I don't normally comment, but this home tour really took my breathe away, not just the beautiful and carefully curated interiors, but the way he described why he chose pieces and how to enjoy life, very inspiring. I could listen to him talk all day!
I don't comment often but I just love it when I do.
Children change your life. And again when they resent us. Yay.
Watching this great video from Vienna/Austria 🇦🇹 over and over again and I'm totally impressed and excited !! I would move in there immediately !! Each room is furnished very tastefully, but at the same time so comfortably, all looks very cosy. It also corresponds to my wishes and ideas of how I would like to have a home furnished !! Great place, great house, great style - and a great video, thanks Schumacher 1889 !! 👋
Hello, from NYC! We are so happy you loved it!!
Omg. I love this so much I had to pause to write this comment! Ugh my heart is with his. You can see the personal details and love put in this home. It makes me feel like I’m watching a early 90s movie. It feels like home ❤️❤️
stunning stunning home and garden. wow. also your editor is FIRE with the music choices and editing. such a good video - wish it was an hour longer! i could listen to this guy talk for way longer!
Wow. Magical place!
Loved this video. The house is so amazing in a way that makes you feel cozy and comfortable. Alfredo is genuine and very engaging. His honesty when talking about his family is such a welcome trait.
One of my favorite homes I've ever seen!
What a treat full of inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
This guy was a pleasure to listen to with his charming home and easy manner - Loved his comments regarding family and the way he improved the house maintaining its essence. Lovely home
prettiest home ever!! just watching it feels so peaceful! can only imagine living there!! wow!!! i guess i may just have to keep coming back to this video!
Sublime.
This home has a lot of of soul because it’s character. It's filled with earthy colors, especially within his son's bedroom as well as throughout his home. The gorgeous sunroom windows and stripped canopy create the coziest ambience. I think I would enjoy eating there every day for brunch. Alfredo is a good commentator with a keen eye for unique ideas and a passion for collecting pottery.
Thank you for sharing his house tour with us.
I enjoyed this tour and especially loved Alfredo’s love for his family and the comfortable home he has created for his family. There is no pretense here just a beautiful home filled with love… now this is home… much like a warm hug.
This is just beautiful!! this house has sooo much SOUL!!I just love it,I am a Brit and it is very English country.❤️❤️Chrissy
BEST home tour! I could rewatch and rewatch...I love it ALL
Just dreamy! Absolutely love this. Sign of a really really good designer ....knowing what to leave undone and to just go with rather than trying out loads of new ideas! ❤
Oh wow wow wow one of my favourite houses I’ve ever seen - I love everything about this
This is a yes a million ways from Sunday! Perfect house, perfect interior, perfect location!❤
I am moving to shelter island! This house is absolutely stunning and magical. Such a calming and peaceful vibe

Leave it to SHUMACKER to bring us the chef’s kiss of design, elegance and home!!! ❤️
I like the honesty in how he describes things.
My favorite home so far in this channel!! So comfortable and real!
I happened upon your CZcams channel today, and thank goodness. As another person stated, "I will probably watch this a million times," I concur. Your family home is beautiful. And your design style matches your manner which is calming, thoughtful and creative. I related to those aspects immediately. I am grateful to have discovered you.
It looks heavenly. It looks peacefully zen like.
I WANT TO LIVE IN HOUSE EXACTLY LIKE THIS!!!! Words are not enough to describe this house so I'm going to describe this house as my "clare de lune"
You’re living the dream - and who wouldn’t- it’s fabulous - lucky children to play in that darling small house - and swing and dream looking out onto the lake. Enjoy every minute you’re all there - it’s a living movie full of love ❤
Absolutely stunning. And this is also a great story about all the different ingredients it needs for a house to evolve into an authentic, individual, cozy *home*. Like life and time.
There’s a lot of simplicity in the interiors…lovely home
I am pretty sure I'm Alfredo's long lost mother..so similar our design aesthetic in this beautiful by-waters-edge home. He is gracious, casual, unpretentious and has taste to die for...especially the pottery! [mine in white}
Your home is warm, cozy, and beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
"Children change your life..." He and his husband have created a wonderful family home from a neglected building.
Enchanting and 💜Magical! Thank you for sharing Alfredo!
You are so blessed to experience this beautiful corner of the world❤
Absolutely gorgeous. I would never want to leave this place.

I love this home and Shelter Island.. a small piece of quiet earth in a very noisy city. The scenery is right out of The Great Gatsby, I want to go there
Absolutely lovely, serene and beautifully cohesive and welcoming. You can tell love lives there. Thank you for sharing your home.
