This spectacular and luxurious triplex apartment includes 4 to 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a large eat-in kitchen and a big patio garden. Freshly renovated with a new kitchen and bathrooms, it's the perfect mix of modern convenience and high-style Victorian charm. You have a choice of entrances on the front of the house; either up the stoop or through the garden level entrance. For formal entertaining, the front steps of this stately, 22 foot wide, brownstone welcome you into a well appointed foyer that opens a private entrance to the parlor floor with soaring ceiling heights and richly ornamented woodwork. Two grand entertaining spaces comprise the parlor floor: a formal living room with a large pier mirror and bay windows is at the front of the house while a formal dining room or library graced by a carved decorative fireplace is at the rear. A separate home office/study, half bathroom, and butler's pantry with wet bar complete the parlor level. If entering at the garden level, below the the front stoop, you'll find a private entrance hall opening into a large living room with a decorative fireplace at the front of the house, a full bathroom, an expansive eat-in kitchen, laundry facilities, and an bedroom/home office or service pantry at the rear of the home. The low maintenance patio garden is brick-paved with decorative planters and a perfect space for al fresco dining, lounging and entertaining. The third floor of the triplex is composed of four comfortable bedrooms, two with decorative fireplaces, and two full bathrooms. The Garden and Parlor floors are served by a modern electric dumbwaiter for convenience in entertaining and serving. This property is in district 15 and zoned for PS 321 elementary school.
