Overlooking quaint Fifth Street, a junior suite has bay window views, a walk-in closet and a private marble bathroom, while two more bedrooms share a second full bath. A Bosch washer-dryer is tucked away on this level as well. The central area serves as a comfortable open gathering place, a playroom or sitting area.

One floor up is the spectacular full-floor owner's retreat. It features a private terrace with an outdoor fireplace, situated just outside the oversized, south facing bedroom. A large walk-in closet and dressing room connects the bedrooms to the bathroom spa which includes a steam shower for two, a freestanding cast-iron soaking tub, twin pedestal sinks and a private water closet.

The home's crown jewel is a roof deck overlooking a striking turret and the neighboring treetops. Entertain easily thanks to the well-equipped summer kitchen with an Al Fresco gas barbecue grill.
