A dapper classical revival limestone facade belies 5,200 sq. ft. of luxuriously modern interiors at this stunning 6-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom townhouse nestled in the Carnegie Hill Historic District. Rising 5 stories and spanning 20 ft. wide, this one-of-a-kind home was built in the late 19th century and has been modernized to the exacting standards of the present. Old-world details like ceiling medallions, crown molding, four fireplaces with original mantels, stained glass, and tall windows with charming grills blend with contemporary elements like integrated surround sound speakers, multi-zone A/C, custom built-ins, and a state-of-the-art security system. The main level of the home has a spacious living and dining area, a central hall with a powder room, and a sun-drenched eat-in kitchen that opens up onto a lovely dining terrace with a built-in grilling station.
