About this home
Welcome to a once-in-a-generation Victorian stone estate, lovingly restored and elevated into pure, museum-level luxury, where historic soul and modern refinement meet in breathtaking harmony.
Built over 100 years ago, this iconic Victorian residence stands proudly with true stone construction, rich architectural depth, and character that simply cannot be replicated today. Every inch of this nearly 3,600 square-foot home has been thoughtfully reimagined to honor its legacy while delivering the comfort, efficiency, and elegance today’s luxury buyer expects.
From the moment you enter through the 8-foot custom Dutch door, you feel it, this is not just a house, it’s a statement.
Inside, soaring ceilings, oversized show-stopping chandeliers (this home could genuinely be a gallery for chandeliers alone), and curated designer finishes set the tone. A warm, inviting living room centers around a beautiful fireplace with custom built-in benches, perfect for intimate gatherings, reading by the fire, or hosting unforgettable evenings. The formal dining space continues the drama with scale, light, and craftsmanship that command attention.
The chef’s kitchen is a work of art, anchored by Forno appliances, Fabuwood cabinetry, premium finishes, and a seamless blend of form and function. Entertain effortlessly with a bodega-style wine cooling refrigerator, ideal for collectors and hosts alike.
This home offers 5 generously sized bedrooms and 3.5 spa-inspired bathrooms, including a second-floor primary suite that feels like a private retreat. The primary bath is nothing short of spectacular, featuring:
A freestanding soaking tub
Marble tile throughout
Herringbone-pattern flooring
Elegant gold accents
A custom vanity
WaterSense smart toilets
A spacious walk-in closet
Luxury continues with a second-floor laundry suite equipped with GE and LG washer/dryer units, ensuring convenience where you need it most.
Outside, the rarity continues: a private driveway with parking for 6+ vehicles—an almost unheard-of amenity for a historic Victorian of this caliber.
This home is for the buyer who values heritage, artistry, and uncompromising quality. For someone who wants their home to tell a story, spark emotion, and stand apart from everything else on the market.
Historic. Grand. Irreplaceable.
This is not just where you live, this is where legacy lives on....
