Description

Turnkey, stunning and grand, 5 bedroom townhouse at a level of craftsmanship rarely found with Optional Income that can offset ownership costs. Enjoy the scale and privacy of a single-family townhouse, with the added option to generate substantial rental income from a separate unit - ideal for hosting guests, or creating a multi-generational living arrangement.

Discover a seamless blend of indoor-outdoor living within the captivating design of this townhouse. Nestled on a tree-lined street in the historic enclave of Hamilton Heights, this residence beautifully marries timeless elegance at its front with contemporary allure at its rear. The five-story structure boasts an artistic architectural feature: a 'Kawneer Glass Curtain' styled in the spirit of Mondrian. This innovative design bathes each floor in abundant natural light while offering sweeping vistas of the sky and a meticulously landscaped garden.

Spanning approximately 4,700 square feet, this two-family townhouse is a true masterpiece. Upon crossing the threshold, your senses are immediately captivated by the Artemide lighting installations and the intricate mahogany inlaid floors. A fully functional wood-burning fireplace stands as a testament to both form and function. The layout effortlessly guides you through an optimal entertainment space featuring poliform installations, seamlessly connecting the living room, a thoughtfully designed dining area, and culminating in a culinary enthusiast's fantasy: the Poggenpohl kitchen. Adorned with top-tier appliances including a brand new Fulgor Milano stove and oven, this kitchen is the heart of the home. Step outside to the deck, a perfect setting for al fresco dining, or wander down to the bluestone courtyard with a marble pond that elevates the ambiance to one of serene sophistication, reminiscent of upscale country living.

An exquisite stainless-steel staircase gracefully ascends from the parlor floor, leading to two generously proportioned bedrooms and a spacious full bathroom. Ascending further, a floating staircase guides you to an additional two well-appointed bedrooms and a lavish bathroom featuring a soaking tub and a rain shower. The grandeur of an oversized skylight further enhances the brightness as you ascend to the artist studio on the pinnacle floor. This creative space seamlessly connects to a rooftop deck, offering a private escape with panoramic views. Every detail, from the doors to the light fixtures, resonates with impeccable design and a harmonious aesthetic that spans the entire residence.

The garden-level, one-bedroom rental unit which can be delivered Tenant Free, is equally well-conceived, spanning two floors and providing direct access to the lush garden. Modern conveniences abound, including washer/dryers, a brand new Elite boiler, dual Liberty Macerator commercial pumps, comprehensive flash flood protection, central air conditioning, and Runtal radiators. The residence has a robust four-point security system featuring mobile connectivity.

Conveniently situated near subways and a vibrant restaurant scene, this remarkable abode invites you to seamlessly integrate into its meticulously crafted spaces - a true embodiment of high design and contemporary functionality.
