About This Home
This impeccably renovated 20-foot-wide 6,546 sqft townhouse is in exceptional move-in condition and offers remarkable scale, natural light, and craftsmanship throughout, including rare eastern-facing windows on the second through fourth floors. Spanning approximately 5,266 square feet, plus a 1,280-square-foot finished lower level, the home features five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two powder rooms, and a high-speed elevator servicing every floor.
A gated and landscaped forecourt creates a private entrance into the residence. The ground floor opens to a gracious entry gallery leading to a sophisticated family room and informal dining area, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Dramatic blackened steel-framed rear windows and doors flood the interiors with natural light and open directly onto a beautifully landscaped garden designed by Robin Key Landscape Architects. Also on this level, the eat-in chef's kitchen is exceptionally appointed with a 48-inch Wolf range with vented hood and pot filler, Sub-Zero refrigeration, wall and speed ovens, warming drawer, dual dishwashers, wine refrigeration, and extensive prep and storage space.
The parlor floor is defined by soaring 12'2" ceilings and elegant proportions throughout, creating an ideal area for entertaining. A gracious landing leads to a grand living room with a rare eastern-facing window overlooking the garden and surrounding trees, as well as a gas fireplace. An equally refined formal dining room features a second gas fireplace, creating an ideal setting for entertaining.
Occupying the entire third floor, the serene primary suite offers 11'2" ceilings, oversized windows with tranquil garden views, two dressing rooms, a walk-in closet, additional custom storage, and two full bathrooms. An adjoining study or fifth bedroom completes the level. The fourth floor features 10'10" ceilings, three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room with sink, and abundant storage throughout.
The finished lower level includes a full gym, kitchenette, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar with storage for approximately 1,000 bottles. Above, a north-facing roof terrace accessed via a full staircase offers the opportunity for beautifully designed outdoor living. Additional features include multi-zoned central air conditioning, a high-speed elevator servicing every floor, and a security system.
