This townhouse is a two-family brownstone that features 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a large parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From White Oak floors to original doors and exposed brick, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home. As you enter the owner’s five-bedroom triplex, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer and an original door. Stepping into a 42-foot parlor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan to the full glass wall at the rear of the house. To the left, a formal living room area with a decorative fireplace and beautiful molding offers a great space for entertaining. To the right, is a large dining area and thoughtfully designed powder room. In the back, your kitchen features a three-seat island, decorative fireplace, custom cabinetry on both sides of the room, and quartz countertops. With a farmhouse sink and a full complement of appliances including a paneled refrigerator, Thermador six-burner stove, and microwave drawer, this kitchen is a chef’s dream.

The top floor of this home has three bedrooms and two beautifully tiled bathrooms with skylights that are flooded with natural light.
