Completely renovated 10 years ago, this impressive property boasts beautifully restored architectural details alongside modern updates, all while maintaining the integrity of the original design. With five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, an elevator, secure carport, finished basement and large roof deck, this home is as functional as it is beautiful.

The formal dining room can accommodate a table for twelve, offers a china closet, wall of glass doors out to the garden, and leads into the chef’s kitchen through a set of pocket doors that can remain open or be closed for privacy. The kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, outfitted with professional-grade appliances including a Wolf six-burner gas range and convection oven, Sharp microwave drawer, Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and wine refrigerator. Sleek marble surfaces and backsplashes extend throughout the space. The ample cabinet and pantry space is well thought out for maximum efficiency.
