Built c. 1885, this exquisite Neo-Grec style brownstone offers the perfect blend of historic details, quality, and modern comfort. Spanning 4 stories and 3,584 square feet, this home is configured as 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2 offices, a formal dining room, and an impressive double parlor, and has beautifully manicured and irrigated front and rear gardens.

Filled with original details, including 7 fireplaces, pocket shutters, double entry doors, intricate door knobs, inlaid hardwood floors, massive windows, and high ceilings, this home has also been updated throughout with central AC and high-end appliances. The finishing touches for this move-in ready home have been completed within the past few years.

The grand double parlor has 10'11" ceilings, 2 gorgeous carved marble fireplace mantels, beautifully detailed hardwood floors, and is filled with all-day sunlight shining through its massive south- and north- facing windows. Perfect for entertaining, this level connects perfectly to the garden level one floor down with an eat-in chef's kitchen--fully equipped with a professional 6-burner stove and double oven, Subzero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and double sink--wet bar with another sink and mini fridge, powder room, and formal dining room with a massive painted brick fireplace, through which you access the home's show-stopping rear garden. This terraced backyard is thoughtfully manicured, irrigated, filled with its own eye-pleasing details, well-lit for evening gatherings, and showcases a mature maple tree.

Accessed from the parlor level via the home's exceptional staircase, the third floor has 10'3" ceilings and is occupied by a primary bedroom suite fit for royalty. The bedroom itself is larger than many living rooms and enjoys its own carved marble fireplace and massive closet-lined dressing room. The en-suite primary bathroom has a shower, private doored-off toilet room, antique sink, marble fireplace, and garden-facing deep soaking bathtub. This floor is perfectly completed by an over-sized office, which also looks south over the home's beautiful rear garden. On the top level, you'll find 9'7" ceilings, 2 more bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms (both with skylights), another office, and another marble fireplace.
