About Stefanie

 
 

Stefanie Scheer Young brings an editor's eye to living spaces. Stefanie helps real estate clients locate, secure, envision and realize the potential in a home. 

As a designer, she creates stimulating and inviting homes that are livable and refined, mixing antiques, fine art, personal collections and contemporary design in rich and unexpected ways.

Stefanie sees beauty in tradition and looks to make it modern for today and beyond. She cares about how a room looks and feels seeking to make it fresh, while retaining patina, elegantly bold and soulfully intelligent.

After studying history and literature at Harvard and completing coursework at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Stefanie began her career as a journalist at CBS News, then moved to reporting and editing for Sports Illustrated, later going on to found and manage the internet properties for Sports Illustrated and the National Basketball Association.

During time spent home with her children she rediscovered and indulged her lasting passion for real estate and design, working first with friends and then with their referrals, and actively engaging in volunteer educational, cultural and historic preservation projects. Stefanie’s design work has been published in Domino Magazine, Frederic Magazine, Country Living Magazine and the book Charm School. She wrote the “Northeast Notebook" column for LaDolceVita blog, considers herself an eager pupil of design history and loves to travel with fellow members of The Decorators Club and the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art.

Stefanie is a lifelong student. Curious and passionate about design, she has an educated eye, and an interest in history and the art of living graciously. Based in New York City, her goal is to help her clients find and create spaces that are comfortable, well-loved, stimulating, layered and lived-in: rooms that amplify the pleasure of being at home.

The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA) awarded Stefanie the 2022 McKim, Mead & White Award in Interior Architecture and Design.
