Description
This stately 4-story brownstone was built in 1895 by Frank and Theodore Swimm in the Romanesque/Renaissance Revival style. The distinguished triple-vaulted facade features a dog-legged stoop, original ironwork, and carved foliated ornamentation around the entryway.
Once inside, the breadth of the open parlor floor and ubiquitous light is unforgettable. The bright, white, open space is warmed by original restored oak flooring, a wood-bring fireplace and titanium black natural stone quartzite countertops. The striking kitchen island is both luxurious and practical, comfortably seating four. Custom kitchen cabinetry provide ample storage and conceals top-end appliances by Miele and Bosch. A telescopic downdraft cooking exhaust does not intrude on the gorgeous streamlined design. The concealed coat closet is an unexpected brownstone luxury — essential for this perfect entertaining space. Down one level is a half bath — such a smart and practical solution, adding convenience and privacy for your guests. Central AC will cool you down in summer, and access to the landscaped back garden make hosting a no-brainer.
The fabulous gryphon stairway ornament will safeguard all those who pass upstairs. The third floor is ideally purposed as a complete master suite with classically lux en suite bath, dressing room / walk-in closet and an oversized den or office. You can opt to use the front room as a separate bedroom as well. One more flight up to the fourth floor are two more bedrooms with a common den/play area in between. Here you’ll also find a full bath and laundry room. A bonus side room offers additionally office space, storage or guest room.
This superior renovation has left no stone unturned. With all new plumbing and electrical, central AC plus Daikin 3-zone split unit AC system, upgraded roof, Northwest security system, Ring video doorbell system, well-maintained boiler and new water heater, all top-end appliances and fixtures — you and your loved ones can rest easy.
