Featuring 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 3 half baths, this home is appointed with high-end finishes throughout and an open floor plan ideal for entertaining. Designed by art enthusiasts and completely rehabbed down to the studs in 2010, the home showcases thoughtful design elements including an elevator, hardwood floors, custom millwork, soaring ceilings and expansive windows.

A formal powder room for guests completes the main level.
