Property Description
Behind its classic façade lies an extraordinary level of investment and care. The home has undergone a complete systems overhaul, including all new electrical, plumbing, and gas lines extended to the street, ensuring modern efficiency and peace of mind with no lead or outdated infrastructure. A top-of-the-line Mitsubishi Comfort HVAC system provides zoned heating and cooling throughout, while new windows, new water heaters, and fully remediated materials—including lead-free paint and asbestos removal—underscore the meticulous nature of the renovation.
Aptly described as grand, the parlor level unfolds with a 32-foot-long living room bathed in southern light through curved bay windows overlooking leafy Fiske Place. Original herringbone hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, restored ceiling murals, and exquisite millwork create a setting that feels both elevated and deeply rooted in history. Decorative mantles with pier mirrors, stained glass accents, and preserved textures speak to the home's provenance, while thoughtful updates—like custom HVAC covers and seamlessly integrated lighting—enhance daily living.
The reimagined parlor-level kitchen, now positioned where the formal dining room once stood, is both striking and functional. Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash pair with a suite of high-performance appliances, including Miele, Café, and Sub-Zero-style refrigeration elements, alongside refrigerator drawers and a wine fridge. A separate butler's kitchen adds an additional layer of sophistication, ideal for entertaining, while a newly added powder room features a sculptural concrete sink and custom finishes.
Upstairs, the private quarters continue to impress. The primary suite level has been transformed to include a spa-caliber bathroom complete with an infrared sauna, soaking tub, curated tilework, and custom vanity, alongside an expanded walk-in closet and integrated laundry room. Restored fireplaces, custom closets, and refined design details carry throughout, while the top floor offers additional bedrooms, a beautifully finished bath, and thoughtfully designed storage.
The garden level has been completely opened and reconfigured to create a seamless, light-filled living space. A second kitchen with premium appliances, beautifully tailored cabinetry, and designer finishes flows into a flexible den, guest space, and playroom, all anchored by exposed beams and elevated materials. A newly constructed bathroom, mudroom enhancements, and preserved original elements—including the historic ice box—add both charm and practicality.
Below, the cellar has been fully excavated and transformed into a dynamic extension of the home, featuring increased ceiling heights, a waterproofed foundation with integrated drainage, and distinct areas for recreation, fitness, and storage. Rich character details—including reclaimed materials and exposed beams—make this level as compelling as it is functional.
Outdoors, both the front and rear of the home have been completely reimagined. The landscaped backyard features a custom steel and teak deck, bluestone and brickwork, integrated drainage systems, new fencing, and curated lighting, creating a private oasis designed for both beauty and durability. The front garden has been refreshed with new bluestone, smart lighting, and even a newly planted Granny Smith apple tree, adding a charming, personal touch.
