Past the gracious entry foyer-complete with a deep walk-in closet, the home opens into a light-filled expansive living and dining room highlighted by soaring nearly 10-foot ceilings, original millwork / molding detail and hardwood floors. Quiet and serene, your windows overlook tree-lined rear gardens, framing peaceful green views that create a remarkable sense of privacy and calm. The adjoining windowed chef's kitchen is brand new, and expertly designed with expansive stone countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a charming south-facing breakfast nook that captures gentle morning light over the neighboring Grace & St Paul's steeple.
Thoughtfully separated from the entertaining spaces, the private bedroom wing is a tranquil retreat. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, and features custom-fitted closets and lush garden outlooks. The bright second bedroom offers exceptional versatility as a guest room, nursery, or quiet home office. A newly renovated classic windowed bathroom, dressed in crisp white subway tile and timeless fixtures, completes the residence.
