Inside this more than 3500-square-foot showplace, tall ceilings soar above hardwood floors, classic double-hung windows, and handsome millwork, including crown molding, bold casings, and chair rails. The spacious living room invites you to stretch out and relax in front of the stately wood-burning fireplace. A tall archway ushers you to a gracious stair hall flanked by closets, while the oversized formal dining room sets the stage for elegant entertaining surrounded by a traditional brass chandelier and sconces. Ahead, a long butler's pantry makes hosting effortless alongside a windowed powder room. The eat-in kitchen impresses with an oversized arched window framing southern sunlight and leafy garden views, and rows of cabinet space, full-sized appliances, a built-in desk and a breakfast nook add wonderful convenience to the space.
Outdoor entertaining and lounging are irresistible in the rear walled garden featuring a brick patio, climbing vines, mature trees and views of the adjacent synagogue's gorgeous rose window. Claim this sunny south-facing space just in time for summer barbecues and enjoy off-street parking with gated access to Addison Street.
Ascend the grand staircase to discover a lovely family room/library flanked by another fireplace and a wealth of custom built-ins, including cabinetry, shelving and two large desks, perfect for studying or working from home. The palatial owner's suite on this level boasts a king-size bedroom lined with three roomy closets. In the en suite bathroom, you'll find a wide vanity, a large tub/shower, and a laundry closet, all leading to a massive walk-in closet that could easily serve as a nursery or home office. A second powder room completes this level. On the top floor, you'll find a sizeable secondary suite with a decorative fireplace, two closets and a private bathroom. Two more secondary bedrooms are joined by a windowed full bathroom and a walk-in hall closet. A large unfinished basement adds more abundant storage to this timeless residence.
