An 1890s multi-story brownstone has hit the market after undergoing extensive renovations to create a home inspired by cinematic classics.  

The four-story Brooklyn, New York, home was purchased by revered film editor Gavin Cutler and his partner Sundy Procter in 2004 and has since gone through a remarkable transformation. 

Designed with the help of Manhattan-based architect Robert Young, the 4,000-square-foot sanctuary harnessed iconic works to spur its owners' imaginations. 

The property has gone through $1million worth of renovations and is currently priced at $5,295,000. 

One room has been designed in a forestry theme from Maurice Sendak's 1963 book 'Where the Wild Things Are' while two ducts in range hood over the kitchen stove have been turned into heat vents - as seen in Terry Gilliam's 1985 movie 'Brazil'.

The ground floor living room has a L-shaped sofa set and a coffee table in place while double-story windows make up one of the luxurious property's walls

The interiors of the brownstone, listed by Michelle Griffith of Douglas Elliman, are covered in glass, resin accents and a vibrant palette of red and blue weave.

Paying homage to the author Maurice Sendak's popular children's book, the powder room serves as a captivating ode to artistic expression. 

Embellished with an Anemone shag rug that has cylindrical tufts of fabric that bend and wave as you run your fingers through it, the area is complemented with a marble sink resembling teakwood. 

The pseudo-walls that create the dining room, the sitting room opposite the kitchen and the second-floor television room are all adorned with white planes and sheets of white wallboard, suspended from wood beams. 

All of the bedrooms have hardwood floors, with two fitted with sliding doors that open into the garden.

One of the kitchens is fitted with a dishwasher, oven, modern-day fridge and space for a fireplace. 

According to Cutler, the furniture of the house was selected by interior designer Procter. 

'She is the one who has made it more interesting, more romantic,' he told NYT. 

Cutler is a partner at Mackenzie Cutler, a film-editing company in Manhattan that is known for its comic television commercials while Procter is an interior designer.
