Beyond a formal entryway, the garden floor of the home flows into a luminous kitchen and dining area. The dining space is serviced by a wet bar and a powder room, and has easy access to a limestone courtyard fully equipped with a gas grill, a refrigerator, a sink, lighting, and speakers. The Poliform kitchen boasts an eat-in peninsula, sleek countertops, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances. The second floor contains a floor-through living and entertaining space as well as an impressive gas fireplace augmented with a remarkable stone surround and a chic light well.
The third floor is split between a family room, a powder room, and a spacious bedroom with a private closet and full en-suite bathroom. A pair of bedrooms with charming built-ins and pristine en-suite bathrooms occupy the fourth floor, while the fifth floor is dedicated entirely to a tranquil master suite that possesses an entire wall of custom closets and a windowed en-suite with dual vanity sinks, a massive walk-in shower, and a free-standing soaking tub. The rooftop deck has integrated Sonos speakers and commanding views of the surrounding neighborhood.
The cellar contains a laundry room, a 150-bottle wine room, custom closets, and a passageway that leads to a two-story coach house. The lower level of the coach house features an open-concept Poliform kitchen and dining area that opens into the courtyard, a powder room, and a sky-lit double-height living room with custom closets and a wood-burning fireplace.
