Exuding stately glamour, this Napoleon III-style Grande Dame originally built in 1710 has been gloriously reinterpreted by its current owners to integrate today's luxury appointments with its original period identity. The welcoming wraparound porch is surrounded by ambrosial landscaping and leads to a private pool. The floor plan encompasses both formal and informal spaces with high ceilings over four finished levels with 6 bedrooms, 8.2 baths and 8 fireplaces. The renovated gourmet kitchen and adjoining family room highlight original wood ceiling beams, historic fireplaces and wide plank flooring, yet feature marble and stainless steel countertops and high-end appliances. Replete with character, this 18th-century jewel box embraces the best of modern living close to Greenwich Avenue
