Totally unique and beautifully renovated, this grand three-bedroom/three-bath duplex sits high on a hill in a majestic 1930's landmarked two-family brick home with rustic clay tile roof. This grand residence boasts voluminous ceiling heights, a sunken living room with magnificent stone fireplace, natural wood beamed ceilings and tudor hand-carved linenfold wall panels. Charming prewar details including arched crystal glass windows, period chandeliers, cement columns, and beautiful herringbone hardwood floors are juxtaposed with modern touches including recessed lighting and central a/c (split units for each floor) throughout this castle-like home. There's also an oversized formal dining room with coffered ceiling, a corner bonus room and a modern eat-in kitchen with handsome off-white cabinetry, Samsung black stainless steel appliances (including a washing machine), and marble countertops with breakfast bar on the first floor. Upstairs are three spacious and sun-filled bedrooms, primary with en-suite bath, large closets and separate dressing area. A large shared backyard with stone fire pit, a finished basement with large den, home gym, full bath, kitchenette, lounge with built-in bar area and washer/dryer along with an available parking space on the driveway complete the picture.
