Description

Historic Character, Beautifully Renewed A south-facing three-story residence recently renovated to restore and celebrate its original pre-war character. The owners have thoughtfully reintroduced period-inspired architectural details throughout, striking a warm balance between historic charm and contemporary functionality. PARLOR FLOOR The main entertaining level flows from an open living room through a well-appointed kitchen to an indoor/outdoor dining area, with a powder room conveniently tucked nearby. The renovation highlights original craftsmanship — crown moldings, a decorative fireplace, and a classic mantel. A dramatic steel-frame picture window with an integrated glass door anchors the rear of the kitchen, framing lush treetop views and opening directly onto an oversized deck measuring approximately 15'8" × 18'9" — ideal for large-scale al fresco gatherings. Bosch appliances, a built-in wine cooler, and honed soapstone countertops complete the culinary suite. TOP FLOOR The upper level arrives through a skylit landing, immediately setting a bright and airy tone. Two generously proportioned bedrooms occupy the floor — originally laid out as three and thoughtfully opened up for more expansive living. Two full bathrooms serve the level, the primary featuring a soaking tub beneath a second skylight, alongside an in-unit washer/dryer. GARDEN FLOOR The ground level offers a flexible living and entertaining suite with two additional bedrooms. A wall of floor-to-ceiling steel-frame glass doors spans the rear of the space, flooding the interior with southern light and opening seamlessly to the private backyard. Existing plumbing supports a future kitchen, and the original wet bar has been relocated to the cellar to maximize open, uninterrupted flow. KEY FEATURES Central air & heat · ADT security · In-unit laundry & dishwasher · High ceilings · Dual skylights · Soapstone countertops · Window treatments included · Private backyard · Oversized deck · Steel-frame glass throughout ADDITIONAL NOTES Currently operated as a single-family home, the property is legally permitted as a two-family dwelling. Conversion is straightforward — garden-level kitchen plumbing and a separate entrance are already in place.
