The south-facing bedroom boasts a wood-burning fireplace, an ensuite windowed bathroom, and a Juliette balcony, while the north-facing bedroom features its own ensuite windowed bathroom and a terrace that can be transformed into a tranquil outdoor retreat. Fifth Floor: Originally designed as quarters for staff, this floor currently encompasses five small bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms. Our proposed floor plan envisions the addition of two extra bedrooms, which could alternatively serve as a den or guest room accommodating your unique needs and desires. Additional highlights of this remarkable residence include a grand staircase, featuring separate landings on each floor and a rare third west-facing exposure. Impressive high ceilings and hardwood floors further enhance the allure, while a full-height basement houses a laundry room. We have also included a proposed floor plan, which incorporates an elevator, a wine cellar, a home gym, an additional powder room on the parlor floor, an eat-in kitchen, a laundry room, a bar, a sunroom, and so much more. This is an unparalleled opportunity to become the third owner of this historic property and bring your dream home to life.
