Garden Level: (Lower Level of Current Triplex)

Enter the garden level through a wrought iron gate under the stoop. To your left are two large hallway closets for all of your jackets and coats. Follow along the hardwood floor past a half bath with a marble sink counter to find yourself in a bright living-room. The wide living-room has an exposed brick wall with the original brick interlaced in relief along the wall and a wood-burning brick fireplace. A silent “Natural Wind” air conditioner is installed in the wall, radiating cool air through the owner’s unit.

The kitchen is in the rear room of the garden level on a raised area of Spanish patterned tiles. There are ash wood cabinets on both sides, a built-in birch wood cutting surface imbedded in rear counter, a five burner Kitchen Aid stove, a Bosch stainless steel dishwasher, a stainless steel Kitchen Aid refrigerator and freezer, a stainless steel Kitchen Aid Superba double oven, and a GE Profile microwave. The four-story dumbwaiter and laundry chute are in the kitchen near an intercom to the front door. The entrance to the private rear garden is next to the kitchen. Through the Moorish patterned door is the sizable garden with a brick floor, a side planting area for herbs and vegetables, and a young sapling growing in the southwest corner. Tall wood fences surround the garden, enhancing the feeling of privacy. There is a stairwell in the garden giving you a private entrance to the basement.

Parlour Level: Owner’s Entertaining Level (Middle Level of Current Triplex)

Up the box stoop is the primary entrance for the building. Once inside the original foyer, you will find a rarely seen Victorian design on the solid wood doors that hide to the side to seal off the main entrance, along with a burgundy and rose marble floor and French cut glass front doors to the central hallway. In the hallway are the doors to the owner’s triplex and to the parlour level studio apartment. Original wainscoting decorates the right wall by the staircase, where you will also find an impressive Victorian reflecting mirror.

When you enter the triplex from the parlour level, you are ushered into an enormous central hall with an 11’10’’ ceiling, a wood-burning stone fireplace, textured walls in the Spanish-style, a massively wide window looking out to your private garden and an original iron Spanish-style chandelier. There is a staircase to the 3^rd floor in the middle of the parlour level with corkscrew banisters, and extra storage under the staircase. A dark, Jacobean stain bookshelf rises up from the middle landing of the staircase. On the parlour level, there is a full-bath with a marble sink, and a tub with Spanish patterned tiles. Beyond the grand parlour room is a rear room that could become anything from a bedroom to a study.

The four-floor dumbwaiter and the laundry chute are concealed in the rear room, which also features a bar sink, an intercom and a huge ceiling fan surrounded by the wood mold design from the original 1893 parlour entrance. A handmade desk unit with cabinets and shelf space fill one side of room. The far rear has a large wide window looking directly into the private garden with the original, Victorian wood shutters. This offers plenty of Southern exposure sunlight, and when the windows open the pleasant sounds and gentle breeze may convince your senses that you are resting in a park. Tall, handmade double doors can be shut to separate this room from the grand parlour room.

The parlour level studio apartment is currently rent stabilized, but it will be delivered vacant to allow use of the entire floor. With a separate entrance off the parlour level landing, this studio features a 12 ft ceiling, a loft above the well-equipped kitchen unit, six double-door closets, an exposed brick wood-burning fireplace, original hardwood floors, inset ceiling lights, three tall windows to the street with flower pots outside of them, and original stained-glass corners in the windows.

There are two front bedrooms on the third floor. The right front bedroom offers new parquet floors, a 10’5’’ high ceiling, four shelf units on the right side wall, a large loft-like alcove and more storage under the alcove. There are two tall windows that face the quiet street with original wood shutters that hide inside panels off to the side.

The tub is lined with Neptune Green glass-ceramic Italian tiles. The counter of the double sink is lined with milk-white glass-ceramic Italian tiles. A sliding mirrored medicine cabinet is above the double sink.

An internal Juliet balcony overlooks the stairs from the rear master bedroom. Glass “windows” open from inside the master bedroom over the stairs. This is one of the many poetic touches of the master bedroom. The bright feel and Southern exposure adds to the master bedroom’s romanticism. Original parquet floors display an Art Nouveau light wood trim. The wood-burning fireplace has a white Vermont marble surrounded with a traditional Victorian mantle. The room shines with crystal light fixtures on the wall and a stainless steel chandelier. A large window looks down the private garden, filling the bedroom with natural light. The connecting master bath is exquisite. Designed completely in white Vermont marble, with warm chocolate highlights, the bath has a luxuriant, lounging quality. When you enter, you walk up two small marble steps. There is a small side window and a frosted glass rear window. Under the side window is a white wooden bench that conceals storage space. In the wall is hidden the laundry chute and the dumb waiter. There is a double sink in front of a wide mirror as well as concealed medicine cabinets on the side. The sink counter is white Vermont marble. Two small marble steps taken you down into the Roman bath, perfect for soaking away a long week.
