Original hand-turned moldings, inlaid hardwood floors, and marble fireplace surrounds elevate the gracious interior. Beautifully maintained and extensively updated, high ceilings, a curved staircase, a rear garden, park-like grounds, and city views from every floor make it all the more special. A generous living room, butler’s bar, dining room, renovated kitchen, sunroom, and delightful patio ensure elegant living. The second floor includes an impressive primary suite featuring a spa-like bath, a large family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and an expansive covered porch. The third floor adds three more bedrooms, 2 full baths, and laundry, while the fourth-floor bonus space is perfect for telecommuting, a yoga retreat, or artist studio.
