Built in 1892 for The Franklin Trust, this unique conversion stuns with commanding views that claim all four exposures -there's just nothing like it on the market. Located at 166 Montague Street, in a landmarked and charming mansard-roof structure, the elegance begins with a graceful foyer that expands into a 3200 square-foot space. Experience eleven-foot ceilings, romanesque-revival-style arched windows, and two great rooms which both frame harbor and skyline views.

The first of two living spaces offers five oversized arched windows and views of the skyline, the harbor and enchanting rooftops. Ideal for entertaining, this great room has a fully outfitted wet bar with Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, plus Viking appliances. The light-story continues in a 2nd great room which has two focal points: a wood burning fireplace and a balcony with New York Harbor spanning views. Facing west, sunsets are spectacular. Equally so is the chef's kitchen with ample, white quartz countertops and Italian-crafted cabinetry. Designed for food prep and casual dining, there is a seven-foot island with Italian cabinetry. Viking appliance package completes the space. Finally, connecting the two great rooms is a gallery, with an avenue of wall space for art.

The residence offers five bedrooms, two with en-suite baths for a grand total of four full bathrooms. Each bedroom has eleven-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and spacious closets. The large scale windows allow light to pour in. Handsome Brazilian hardwood floors unite the rooms. With Italian tiles, marble countertops, and Italian wood vanities, the four bathrooms are warmed with heated towel bars.
