Showcasing the elegance only found in buildings constructed before 1920 and designed by Gordon Kahn, this stunning, newly renovated classic 6 into 5 preserves much of the detail and history of a bygone era while offering the conveniences essential to modern living. The entertaining areas radiate off a large square foyer. The East facing living room boasts an ornately framed antique mirror over the decorative fireplace, coved ceilings, picture railings and picture moldings. The large dining room has painted original oak paneling and beautiful beamed ceilings. The adjacent new windowed eat in kitchen has custom wood cabinets, statuary marble counters, a six-burner stove, great storage, a large eating area and a washer/dryer. In the bedroom wing there are two generously proportioned bedrooms, one with a new en-suite bathroom, and another serviced by a new hall bathroom that is also accessible to guests.

This grand home features over 10' ceilings, hardwood floors, brand new windows, through wall air conditioning in some rooms and incredible prewar details.
