A gated forecourt alongside the townhouse stoop leads to a private entrance. The garden floor is currently configured as an in-law suite. The front of the floor is a large bedroom. The remainder of the floor has a more open floor plan with a combined kitchen and living space that includes a Murphy bed. Sliding glass doors at the rear provide natural light and direct access to a deep and wonderfully sunny garden. Boasting mature trees, and beautiful flowering bushes, it is a Midtown oasis.

A full bathroom and storage closet are also centrally located on the garden floor.

Parlour Floor
A lovely vestibule welcomes residents home by offering a buffer from the street outside, and also a peek at the handsome architectural details within. Floor to ceiling doors open to reveal a formal sitting room with beautiful wainscoting and a sweet brick hearth. A coat closet and powder room are tucked into a wide gallery that leads past the staircase to a set of double doors. Beyond, lies an incredible, sun-drenched formal living room at the rear of the parlour floor. It features a wall of windows, original marble fireplace mantle, and a wet bar.
