Spanning four fully finished levels, the home offers five bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half bath, with a flexible floor plan ideal for modern living and entertaining. The parlor level stuns with soaring 10’ ceilings, abundant natural light, and elegant proportions. A striking Valley Forge Pennsylvania blue marble mantle and surround was enhanced with a newly installed gas fireplace, and is the centerpiece of the grand living room. Adjacent to the living room is a conservatory/solarium, imported from the UK, currently used as a more formal dining area that opens directly onto the serene and private courtyard. The chef’s kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring a quartzite island and matching backsplash, coffee station/appliance garage, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, custom designed and built cabinetry and solid brass finishes. In addition, there is a breakfast area and extra long banquette—all designed with custom built under-seat storage for maximum efficiency. The second floor includes both media room/den as well as a luxurious primary suite. The den features soaring 10’ high ceilings, large south facing windows with working interior shutters, and custom built cabinetry with ample space for display and storage. The primary bedroom suite offers custom built-in wardrobes, and a spa-inspired en-suite marble bath with radiant heated floor, a windowed walk-in shower, custom built vanity, and Waterworks fixtures. On the third and fourth floors, there are 4 additional bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms each fully renovated with custom cabinetry, marble counters and flooring, and the finest fixtures and finishes. Additional highlights include completely refinished original heart pine and wide plank yellow pine flooring, all-new energy-efficient central HVAC and plumbing, built-in Sonos speakers, and upgraded electrical systems—ensuring modern comfort within a timeless framework. A stunning 5 flight staircase with original hand-carved bannister is another dramatic fully-restored detail of this exceptional and unique property.
