Description
Entering the foyer, the original graphic-patterned encaustic tile floor is showcased. Once inside, the stairwell, decorative newel post, wood trim provide warmth — simply and beautifully. The interior woodwork has been stripped and refinished to a pale mahogany hue, and the original parquetry floors have been given new life without sacrificing their lovely patina.
The pocket doors leading into the front parlor have unusual asymmetrical glass panels— almost deco-like, but the main focal point of the room is the original columned mantle with overmantle. A cased opening leads into the center parlor; just like in 1895, the front parlor is currently used as a formal entertaining space while the center parlor is a comfortable lounge. Another set of pocket doors leads into the rear parlor to the south-facing dining room. With a second original columned mantle bathed in sunlight, this room will be a place memories are made. French doors to the rear deck and garden further bring the outdoors in. Just off the dining room is the modern, yet thoroughly charming kitchen. The bespoke cabinetry is British Standard by Plain English, painted their classic Broken White but can be brush-painted to suit. The countertops are honed Carrera marble with an apron-front sink, and butcher block. Beautiful form and function are indulged with the black Lacanche Cormatine Dual Fuel range featuring an electric convection oven and gas cooktop. It’s a chefs dream along with the integrated Leibherr refrigerator/freezer and integrated Bosch dishwasher. Finally, located just off the kitchen — but with just enough privacy — is the guest powder room. A restored JL Mott sink and bronze base makes a room that is too often an afterthought, a true feature. JL Mott manufactured the Cadillac of sinks in its day and the new custom brass hardware adds distinctive 21st century flair.
Heading upstairs there are three bedrooms and two full baths where the architectural detailing are as intact as they are on the parlor floor. Each of the large rooms has its own original mantle, ceiling medallions, wood window and door trim, and original floors. The primary suite encompasses the two front rooms separated by a set of pocket doors. The ensuite bath is built for two, featuring a custom marble vanity with double sinks outfitted with brass Waterworks hardware. The huge double shower features twin brass rain shower heads, and radiant heated marble hex floors will keep you cozy all winter. The secondary bath features yet another restored JL Mott sink with custom brass hardware and a restored clawfoot tub.
The spacious garden unit is a fully renovated open floor plan. The last of the five mantles is the focal point of the large living/dining room. New French doors lead into a good-sized bedroom with exposed brick, and the all new kitchen includes rich blue cabinets, an integrated dishwasher and butcherblock countertops. Beyond the kitchen is a bonus room that is large enough to be used as a second bedroom, office or mud room and features new French oak wood flooring.
