About this home

Move-in ready and thoughtfully designed for modern townhouse living, this exceptional single-family residence offers a seamless blend of historic character and contemporary comfort. Originally built in 1865 in the Italianate style and later reimagined by architect Thomas Nash in 1904, the home has been comprehensively renovated with great care and attention to detail. Spanning five stories and nearly 8000 square feet, the 20-foot-wide townhouse is complemented by generous private outdoor areas that elevate everyday living. The residence features seven bedrooms, eight-and-a-half bathrooms, a finished basement, and a private elevator servicing the home.Throughout, soaring ceilings, custom moldings, and a beautifully crafted staircase underscore the home's refined yet livable aesthetic.

Elegant columns and an arched entry lead to a sun-filled, south-facing formal living room. In the rear, the grand dining room features a large bay window overlooking the garden. Just beyond, the eat-in chef's kitchen features dramatic 14-foot ceilings and a beautiful skylight that fills the space with natural light, creating an inviting setting for everyday meals and gatherings alike.
