This rare, five-bedroom, five-bath gem features an exquisite blend of period detail and modern amenities. The professionally designed interior spares no expense with high-end lighting by Visual Comfort and wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries.

The second level includes four bedrooms, three full baths, a sitting area, and laundry room. The entire third floor features a renovated large bedroom suite with full bath, built-in cabinetry, and spacious living area, which could serve as an in-law or guest apartment.
