The sweeping staircase leads to a lavish primary suite with a fireplace, tray ceiling, hardwood floors, and a spa-caliber bath complete with its own fireplace, steam shower, freestanding soaking tub, and dual vanities. A massive custom walkin closet completes the retreat. A gracious second ensuite bedroom completes the level.The top floor offers two additional bedrooms and a cozy sitting room with a fireplace that opens to a spacious private rooftop deck. The lower level includes two more ensuite bedrooms and convenient access to the rare attached threecar garage.With six ensuite bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, impeccable finishes, and thoughtful updates throughout, this historic home delivers exceptional comfort, versatility, and craftsmanship.
