This cutting-edge three-family townhouse is currently configured as a sophisticated owners duplex plus two high-end two-bedroom floor throughs. Clean lines and state-of-the-art modern finishes make this home a perfect place to live, work, and entertain.

The lower duplex offers a contemporary living/dining room, two exquisite full baths (one en-suite), a main bedroom with built-in closets and storage, and a wonderful chef's kitchen. Downstairs is a spacious rec room/entertaining space and two multi-purpose rooms perfect for an in-home office, closets, guest room, or storage.

The kitchen has stainless appliances, including a six-burner gas range with a pot-filler faucet, an extra deep farmhouse sink, dishwasher, microwave, and large French-door refrigerator. White cabinets and Silastone counters complete this terrific kitchen.

The apartments have exposed brick walls, central air, stainless appliances including dishwasher and microwave, washer/dryer hookup, and hardwood floors.
