Description

ABOVE AND BEYOND BROWNSTONE

This complete renovation by an uncompromising architect-owner redefines the classic brownstone form. Original woodwork is repaired, restored and painted; suddenly becoming fresher, crisper and more modern. All systems, fixtures and appliances are new and top quality. Light fills every room from new windows and skylights. The four level house offers owners endless possibilities. The parlor level has a dazzling, fully-loaded dine-in kitchen with extensive custom cabinetry, open shelving, and decorative fireplace. The kitchen flows onto a 175 s/f walk-out deck overlooking the lush professionally-landscaped garden. A dramatic backlit wet-bar joins the kitchen to the large living room with bay windows and working fireplace. A stylish tiled powder room, and plenty of closet space on this level make this warm, handsome space functional and livable. The natural light filled second floor has four bedrooms including a large master with a chic en-suite bath; a second elegant full bath is off the hall. The garden level features a large open great room that accommodates dining, lounging and a breezy open kitchen full of premium appliances. French doors lead outside and incredible al fresco possibilities--the garden wows with patio, koi pond, four seasons of color and interest, loads of space for parties, playtime or quiet contemplation. A shaft of light even reaches the finished cellar. Here, there is another versatile open space for lounging, home office, media or art studio. A finished exposed beamed ceiling, oak flooring, a full bath, separate laundry room, and a cozy rear bedroom complete this stunning house. Perfectly adapted for 2020 life, this must-see property goes above and beyond.

The owner requests showings by appointment only, there will be no public open houses.
