From ornate plaster ceilings soaring 11 feet high to breathtaking pier mirrors, intact pocket doors, and marble mantels throughout, every corner speaks of timeless elegance. The impeccably maintained brownstone facade stands as a testament to the property's allure and enduring charm.

This Classic 5-story brownstone presents a full free-market opportunity with four exceptional apartments. Imagine the possibilities-whether it's relishing in the luxury of an owner's duplex alongside three income-producing units or leveraging this landmark as a lucrative investment property.

The owner's duplex, with light and space, spans over 3000 gross square feet across the Parlor, Garden floor, and Basement. This exceptional duplex offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an additional versatile third room "the Den". Revel in the exquisite details, including mahogany doors, pier mirrors, a fireplace mantel, and elegant parquet floors. The formal Living room, adorned with intact pocket doors, gracefully separates itself from the formal dining area, creating a sophisticated ambiance perfect for hosting and relaxation. The kitchen, a haven for culinary enthusiasts, offers ample space, with access to the backyard for outdoor living and alfresco dining. The garden level offers a private entry beneath the stoop and hosts the bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Another full suite bathroom boasts a double sink, separate tub, and shower for added convenience. In addition, explore a versatile third room, currently serving as "the Den" or Library, offering direct access to the inviting backyard. This adaptable space provides the flexibility to be easily reimagined as a guest room or a third bedroom, catering to your evolving lifestyle needs. The basement, featuring 7-foot ceilings, currently houses a laundry room and a creative workshop, promising endless possibilities for reinvention.

Each of the three additional apartments exceeds 900 gross square feet, offering distinctive layouts and amenities. Apartments Two and Three present one bedroom, ensuite bathrooms, delightful fireplace mantels, and expansive living/dining spaces. Apartment Two goes the extra mile with a 259 sqft terrace, providing a canvas for crafting a tranquil retreat or an ideal spot for entertaining guests.

Maximize the space and amenities in this property with a common hallway boasting a washer and dryer hook-up on the 5th floor to create a shared laundry nook, optimizing square footage for the upper three apartments.
