Description
This magnificent historic townhouse has been impeccably restored and reimagined for modern living. Designed by renowned architects Middaugh & Shannon at the turn of the 20th century, the home retains an extraordinary collection of meticulously preserved original details, including restored hardwood floors, intricate millwork, rich wood paneling, pocket doors, and a rare original dining room skylight, all of which showcase its remarkable architectural lineage. A stunning rear addition floods the interior with natural light, creating dramatic heights and seamless flow throughout. The result is a masterful blend of historic craftsmanship and contemporary sophistication, complemented by bespoke global influences, spa-inspired bathrooms, and exceptional designer finishes at every turn. A striking vestibule, adorned with Victorian tilework and a rare 19th-century French chandelier, sets an unforgettable first impression. Beyond, an elegant foyer showcases original woodwork, mantel flanked by Victorian tile and a library style gas chandelier, leading to a gracious parlor defined by restored pocket doors, crown moldings, original wood mantel and shutters, and a magnificent Waterford crystal chandelier. The foyer also opens to a grand staircase wrapped in original wood paneling, beneath which a discreetly integrated powder room has been added. The formal dining room is a spectacular entertaining space, centered around a striking Danish chandelier and flooded with natural light from a rare restored original skylight located in the adjacent former pantry. This unique space has been transformed into a richly detailed retreat inspired by Middle Eastern design, showcasing a breathtaking mural, intricately carved Egyptian woodwork, and an elegant Jordanian chandelier. The interplay of light, craftsmanship and global design influences creates a truly unforgettable setting for gatherings both intimate and grand. The chef's kitchen seamlessly blends modern European cabinetry with Carrara marble countertops, premium stainless-steel appliances, and a professional-grade range. Rising through the heart of the home, a spectacular two story wall garden connects the kitchen to the mezzanine above, creating a dramatic architectural centerpiece while enhancing light, openness and visual connection between levels. A NanaWall system fully opens the kitchen to a private rear deck, delivering exceptional indoor-outdoor living and entertaining space. The second floor offers a bright front bedroom suite with a beautifully appointed private bath. A newly constructed English Victorian style hall bathroom, clad entirely in Carrara marble, combines timeless luxury with artistic flair, featuring an Art Nouveau-inspired mural, a walk-in shower, and a meticulously restored porcelain soaking tub. Also on this level are the in-unit laundry, a comfortable guest bedroom and a breath taking office/TV room-with a built-in library and integrated desk-situated within the rear addition. Overlooking the kitchen via a mezzanine, the space is bathed in natural light through skylights and an expansive floor-to-ceiling window. Crowned by a striking ceiling mural, the office offers an inspiring and architecturally distinctive workspace defined by openness, light and artistic detail. The top floor is devoted to a grand primary suite, bathed in natural light and framed by sweeping views extending to the Capitol. A soaring cathedral ceiling within the home's original turret, accented by an interior ceiling mural, enhances the sense of scale and drama. Generous closet space and a luxurious modern European-style, porcelain-clad spa bath-featuring a walk-in shower and restored porcelain soaking tub-create a serene private retreat. An adjacent reading alcove, seamlessly integrated into the suite, offers additional space ideal for quiet reading and relaxation. Adding to its appeal is a 2bd/1.5ba English Basement offering potential rental income + off street street parking.
