About this home

Renovated and move-in ready, this 20’ wide, five bedroom, six story (plus finished basement) brownstone is impressively spacious and chic. There are four outdoor spaces, including a sunny, south-facing landscaped and irrigated garden, terrace off the living room, Juliette balcony off the primary bathroom and rooftop space. Crowning this special home is a sun-flooded basketball/sports court and putting green to practice your short game.
The light throughout is exquisite, highlighted by the rear facade’s double height glass casement windows. Numerous original details have been lovingly retained and restored, among them six wood-burning fireplaces, timeless plaster moldings and handsome oak paneling.
