PARLOR LEVEL

Head up the front stoop of this Italianate brownstone, and through the grand double doors. You are greeted by an entry hall with original, inlaid and honed marble tile floors. To your left is the expansive parlor, while the hallway leads directly to the kitchen, backyard and stairs to the garden level. The grand living room features the most notable of the seven original fireplace mantels? with its regal, gilded mirror. Take in the nearly 12? ceilings as light spills in from two massive windows with original shutters that overlook the front yard. Note the crown moldings and preserved?or restored?historical architectural details. Pass through the milk-glass laden pocket doors into the dining room and kitchen with the 2nd marble mantel. The open-concept chef?s kitchen was designed by artist and sculptor Hans Accola. This chef?s dream features custom cabinetry and island, soapstone counters, stainless range, dishwasher, built-in wine rack and pantry along with nearly floor to ceiling windows, a ceiling medallion, and the back door leading to the deck and garden.



SECOND LEVEL

Head upstairs to the 2nd level and note the restored wainscoting and stair bannisters. This level is currently set up as the primary bedroom in the rear, which features the 3rd mantel, custom walk-in closets and a full bathroom. The windowed bathroom overlooks the garden and includes revitalized, period fixtures and finishes like the claw foot tub, pedestal sink and wainscoting.
