Property Description
Originally built in 1880 and renovated with exacting care, this single-family townhouse offers expansive living across four floors plus a newly excavated lower level and a deep, landscaped garden. Designed as a long-term primary residence, every detail was chosen by the for durability, beauty, and function. The result, crafted with celebrated designers and artisans, has been featured in Architectural Digest for its layered, modern take on classic brownstone living.
Parlor Level
Beyond the restored ironwork and original double doors, the parlor level features soaring ceilings, reclaimed walnut chevron flooring, and custom millwork throughout. The front parlor is anchored by a restored decorative fireplace with blue Fireclay tile and an original pier mirror, updated in matte black. Custom British radiators, a walnut media unit matching the restored woodwork, and pocket doors lead to a rear dining room wrapped in Sheila Bridges' Harlem Toile wallpaper—a warm blend of historic scale and contemporary design.
Garden Level
A private under-stoop entrance opens to a full-width garden floor, unusually elevated nearly to grade. The front room—detailed with paneled wainscoting and charismatic wallpaper—offers a cozy setting for a study, library, or media room. A zigzag transition between the chevron floors and terrazzo leads to the chef's kitchen, which features Reform cabinetry, a custom concrete island, terrazzo counters by Concrete Collaborative, and Fireclay tile. Appliances include a Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf range, and integrated dishwasher. Natural light pours in through an oversized picture window and a two-part Dutch door that opens to the 45-foot-deep wildflower garden, complete with blue stone path way, plumbed natural gas grill, aluminum fencing, and integrated lighting—a private, flexible outdoor haven.
Third Floor
The home's staircases make a statement—restored banisters paired with risers painted in a custom ombré of yellow, blue, and green. The full-floor primary suite includes a front bedroom with decorative marble fireplace and original shutters, a generous walk-through dressing area, and a five-piece bathroom with fixtures by Waterworks, Watermark Designs, and Kohler Veil. An arched niche provides built-in shelving. At the rear, a flexible den or office overlooks the garden.
Fourth Floor
Two additional bedrooms sit under abundant light, each with its own character, as well as a third bedroom or home office with skylight. The top floor bathroom features a restored original clawfoot tub, Fireclay tile, and Watermark fixtures in a unified, show-stopping design.
Lower Level
Newly excavated and finished with radiant-heated concrete floors, the lower level includes a large open space currently used as a gym, a full laundry room, and ample storage.
