Truly Spectacular and one of a kind - a nearly 3,000 square foot home in the heart of Historic Chelsea. This fully renovated single-family home is configured with three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, and a charming landscaped garden that can be accessed off the kitchen or lower level.
The gated forecourt setback from the street leads to a classic entry foyer and kitchen and dining level. With an open loft-like layout, a breakfast nook and a large Chef's kitchen blend into the rear dining room with a cast iron mantle and views looking at the landscaped garden in the rear. The kitchen is rustic chic with custom millwork and high-end appliances. The wide plank floors, exposed brick, and crown moldings throughout create a warm home environment.
The entire parlor level is open allowing natural light to flow from front to back. Flanked by two colorful marble mantles which define the spaces, the gracious ceiling heights, wet bar with refrigerator/ice maker, and a powder room make this an ideal living and entertaining floor.
The top level is configured as two bedrooms. The spacious primary suite sits in front with three windows across and features a wall of dressing closets. A marble mantle and an en suite marble bathroom with Waterworks and Kalista fixtures and tile, a clawfoot soaking tub and a large shower add to the luxury of this suite. The rear of this level features another bedroom with an en-suite marble bathroom with grey and green tones featuring the same Waterworks and Kalista finishes.
The English Basement is configured with a third bedroom and an en-suite bathroom featuring a large marble soaking tub, an open shower, and an abundance of closet space.
