Move right into this mint condition, custom renovated mansion! This 21 foot wide, turn-key townhouse spans over 7,500 square feet over 6 floors. The house is comprised of 6 bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms, with 2 additional powder rooms to accompany the Parlor and Kitchen/Garden levels. A grand staircase at the center of the home is complemented by an oversized elevator accommodating 3+ passengers.

The entire home was meticulously renovated to support modern living without compromising the integrity of the home’s traditional elegance, unique character, and original details. Ceiling heights throughout the house are exceptional, and the layout is ideal for both formal entertaining and casual indoor/outdoor living.

The generously-proportioned landscaped garden, measuring over 40′ x 21′, surrounded by other townhouse gardens, is a modern oasis with a built-in sound system, gas fireplace and gas grill. The excavated cellar incorporates a full gym, wine storage, an industrial sized laundry room, as well as a full bathroom and a staff quarter.

Further features of the home include central heat/AC and state-of-the-art security, including coded gates, alarm, and video surveillance.
