PRICE REDUCTION! Sleek, serene and minimal come to mind when describing this chic urban refuge. Leaving no detail overlooked and finished to the highest standards, this homeowner and interior designer Andrea Marquit led the 2-year gut renovation of this c1806 Federalist townhouse. The Scavolini kitchen with Miele appliances seamlessly connect to a brick-walled garden oasis. The newly installed lush plantings, irrigation system and uplighting create a peaceful and enchanting outdoor space for entertaining or relaxing. There are 2 floors of reception spaces highlighted by a living room/study. The primary suite occupies an entire floor. The luxurious bathroom with Scavolini cabinets, walk-in steam shower and heated floors create a serene space reminiscent of a high-end spa. This home beautifully combines old-world charm and modern convenience with its 8” cerused white oak radiant heated flooring, innovative lighting design, and a gas lantern at your front doorstep.
