Description
Rarely available, this beautifully renovated corner Atterbury tapestry brick townhouse exemplifies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that define Forest Hills Gardens, seamlessly blending historic character with sophisticated modern updates.
A charming entry sunroom with terracotta clay tiles welcomes you into the home, setting a warm and inviting tone. The gracious living room, anchored by a built-in gas fireplace, offers a refined space for both intimate evenings and lively entertaining, complemented by a tastefully appointed powder room discreetly located for guests. The newly renovated open kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring custom cabinetry, a custom walnut built-in dining room sideboard with bespoke hardware, Silestone countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Waterstone faucet, and Fulgor Milano oven with warming drawer. A door just off the kitchen opens to an expansive deck above the garage, providing an elegant setting for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or relaxed outdoor entertaining.
The second floor offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, including a serene primary bedroom featuring a second gas fireplace and abundant windows that fill the space with natural light. The beautifully renovated marble hall bath showcases herringbone marble tile flooring and a large glass-enclosed shower, creating a spa-like retreat.
The third floor features two additional bedrooms and a luxurious full bath with marble tile, an oversized glass-enclosed shower, and a deep soaking tub, combining elegance and comfort for guests, private retreats, or flexible living space.
The fully finished basement offers expansive and versatile living space, including a recreation room, guest room, full bath, and a mudroom area with a large farm sink and cabinetry. The basement also provides generous storage and flexible areas that can serve as a home gym, office, or hobby space.
Additional highlights include central air and heat, a detached garage, private driveway, and expansive front and side gardens with mature plantings.
