> Located on a coveted tree-lined block, this one family townhouse, part of a row of nine 4-story Romanesque Revival houses, was designed by Robert Dixon in 1898. > The house, as culturally-enriched as its neighborhood, Landmarked Historic Lefferts Manor, is filled with incredible details, and history! > In 2006, this beauty stole the show when featured on the Historic House Tour! > For over a century, this remarkable gem has retained nearly all of the golden age charm and characteristics that came with it. > And even now, after a major renovation, most of the details of this showcase beauty remain intact. > The entire house has been updated combining classic and modern, a unique style that places this brownstone at the top of twenty-first century living. > The lovely parlor floor is filled with stunning woodwork, built-ins, and Pier mirrors. > The mantles on this floor are intricately carved and all the woodwork throughout the house is in fresh and immaculate condition. > The flow is excellent in this exciting home. > Black and white photographs artfully framed against linen white walls create a feel of open loft along with the designer's touch. > Space is never an issue - nor is versatility. > The large beautiful rear parlor here occasionally functions as a private office but also serves as a formal dining room for large gatherings when needed. > The third and fourth floors offer five bedrooms, a pass-through, and two beautifully renovated, very large bathrooms, one with a built-in spa, and skylight. > The hall bath on the third floor has an original tin ceiling. > Downstairs at the garden level is just as beautiful where informal dining is always a pleasure. > A fabulous mantle is a focal point here. > The middle area next to the dining room features seating and grand scale media, another example of how each floor or each room is adaptable to accommodate one's own personal use. > Next, the large eat-in Chef's kitchen is not to be missed. > There is a center island of granite as are all countertops, a 60 inch professional Wolf Range and 60 inch Sub-Zero refrigerator, both in stainless steel. > Oak wood cabinets line the walls and the floors are covered in hardwood. > A combination of natural light and modern lighting here add a nice touch. > Located to the rear of the kitchen is a laundry area with stainless steel washer and dryer. > There is a bathroom here too. > Step outside! > Here in the rear of the house, the elegant and peaceful Japanese-inspired garden is comfortable and welcoming.
