This impressive red brick townhouse with brownstone trim is built 24' wide x 50 on the first two floors, and 24x40 on the upper floors on a 100 foot lot. This townhouse is currently configured into two duplex homes. A Parlor & Garden duplex, plus an upper duplex with an attic on the upper floors.

The front parlor flows through the pocket doors into the elegant dining room. This impressive dining room is large enough for grand entertaining and everyday living.
The spacious dining room has crown moldings, pressed tin relief ceilings and a chandelier. The mindful design seamlessly flows from the front parlor to the dining room, through the kitchen to the deck, and into the garden.
