Originally constructed in the 1880s, the residence was home at the turn of the century to the Knabe family, renowned piano makers who expanded the house in a way that reflected their social standing and suited their penchant for throwing parties that regularly made the society pages. This spectacular home boasts six bedrooms with three full and two half bathrooms, ensuring ample space for family and guests, and an elevator for easy access to all floors.
