Step in off of charming Downing Street to an "open air" garage, that could be used as a garage, a front garden or party space too, with storage. Beyond the garage is the ground floor duplex that could be a perfect guest apartment, art studio, or company headquarters OR it can be combined with the rest of the house into one magnificent single family home. (If part of a single family home the ground floor would make an amazing kitchen/great room open to the back garden.) Features of this lower duplex include three bedrooms and three bathrooms and ceiling heights of over 16 feet in the main space with light streaming in from skylights. This dramatic great room has plenty of space for both a living and dining area, as well as direct access to the tranquil garden. Also on this floor is the large chef's kitchen, as well as a bonus room that has an en-suite bathroom and washer/dryer. The mezzanine level features three oversized bedrooms and two bathrooms.   Currently, the main part of the townhouse begins on the second floor, which provides almost unlimited entertainment space with an 80 foot long great room with two terraces and a powder room. The adjacent, open kitchen boasts a 4 burner Garland stove with griddle, 48" Miele refrigerator/freezer, two sinks, two dishwashers, and a Gaggenau hot plate. Up a stunning, curved architectural staircase is the 3rd floor, which currently has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large office/den area with three built-in desks and tons of storage that is open to the great room below. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, built-in desks  and the larger bedroom has access to a private terrace. The fourth floor is dedicated to the primary suite and boasts a wrap-around terrace with tall mature plantings and a wooden fence for privacy . The primary bedroom features custom built-ins and opens up to a nearly 30 foot long outdoor space with a pergola and plenty of seating space. The custom primary bath has a double vanity, deep soaking tub, separate shower, and water closet with a bidet. There is also a cedar walk-in closet and a sitting room/lounge with a fireplace, wet bar and additional storage that also has access to the terrace.
