This stately home, built in 1925, features a traditional brick façade accented with limestone, offering a glimpse of the timeless elegance that lies within. The interior is a testament to classic sophistication with soaring ceilings and elegant architectural details such as elaborate millwork, ornate crown moldings, and exquisite plaster cornices. The layout has been thoughtfully expanded and meticulously updated to incorporate only the finest finishes, with the added benefit of an elevator servicing all four levels. Upon entering, guests are welcomed by sightlines extending from the generous foyer through to the rear garden. The foyer is detailed with plaster walls and marble flooring, gracefully flowing into the attractive entertaining rooms on the main level. The dining room, ideally situated adjacent to both the butler’s pantry and gourmet kitchen, sets the stage for refined gatherings. The kitchen has been beautifully renovated to include high-end appliances and extensive cabinetry, complemented by a butler’s pantry that enhances storage and functionality. Opening from the kitchen is a charming breakfast room bathed in natural light, offering views through its surrounding windows. The adjacent family room, featuring a wall of windows, offers direct access to the rear terrace and garden, creating an ideal setting for relaxation or social events.
