Here, architects were able to maintain the homes original details, including tin ceilings, marble fireplace surrounds and ornate moldings, which were artfully intertwined with sleek, contemporary updates in a recent gut renovation. Its no surprise that Domino and Refinery29 have featured the mint-condition, 22-foot-wide showplace. On the parlor level, glorious formal living spaces create an exceptional ambiance for entertaining. A welcoming foyer opens to a bright living room paved in wide-plank hardwood and topped by "wedding cake" ceilings that soar nearly 11 feet high. Stately pocket doors reveal a grand dining room under painted tin ceilings, and both rooms feature decorative fireplaces and stunning designer lighting. A magnificent open kitchen commands the rear of this level. With a full wall of south facing windows, light and views flow throughout, amplified by white lacquer cabinetry and swaths of cool marble. Chefs will love the premium stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner, fully-vented Wolf range, a drawer microwave, dishwasher and wine refrigerator. Just outside a small deck leads into the huge and lush garden that invites revelry and relaxation with large bluestone pavers, privacy fencing and professional landscaping. The parlor floor is finished with a powder room and coat closet for effortless entertaining. The garden-level living room, complete with handsome built-ins, a large wet bar/kitchenette and bright sunroom, accommodates casual gatherings beautifully and allows for ultimate flexibility in living and entertaining. The sunroom currently serves as a sunlit gym overlooking the garden. With the kitchenette right there, plus a guestroom and full bathroom, your guests will never want to leave. Or spend evenings on the huge couch watching a movie and munching on popcorn. Head to the third floor to take in the luxurious master suite featuring garden views and a spa bath where glass and marble tile surrounds a clawfoot soaking tub and frameless glass shower. A truly enviable walk-in closet leads to an adjoining bedroom thats ideal as a nursery, study or home office featuring an additional spacious bathroom with glass shower stall. Above, three more spacious bedrooms encircle a delightful playroom/den topped by skylights. Theres another marble bathroom here, and the extra-large laundry room offers a stacked washer-dryer, storage and a utility sink. This homes finished basement level was excavated to provide full 8-foot-tall ceiling heights and features a massive storage closet and a huge flexible rec room space amenable to your specific needs.
