Transcending the Marketplace: This four year bespoke renovation by Trout Design Studio, has surpassed imagination in quality of design, sourcing of materials and pure functionality. The current owners spared no expense in the complete reinvention of this 1890 Victorian Townhouse into an urban oasis of comfortable luxury and unparalleled amenities. The recurring motif: proper contextual balance married with state of the art finishes, offering 5 levels of seamless indoor/outdoor spaces interconnected by both an elegant staircase and sleek elevator to all levels. Four stainless steel pools, both hot and cold, adorn the rear garden and rooftop terrace, even including a convenient dog wash for the pampered pooch. The piece de resistance is most definitely the rear yard Car Lift, which ascends from an underground vault to tuck your treasure out of sight while accommodating elegant al fresco dining and entertaining. This home is adorned with multi-layer Venetian plaster walls, solid walnut cabinetry and mill work, wide plank hickory flooring, custom high efficiency windows+ skylights and hand-forged metalwork that excites the tactile senses. Waterworks bathrooms replete with custom marble mosaics and fixtures. Separately zoned radiant heating, hot water and central air are generated by state of the art geothermal wells for year round comfort and a low carbon footprint. The lower level features a versatile and beautifully appointed 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment +fireplace, perfect for in-law, au pair or guest suite with separate exterior entrances and connected by elevator to main house. The entire house is networked by smart house Savant, and controls all lighting, sound, window treatments, electronic entrances and overall environment. The exterior is resplendent with its original brick masonry facade, imported Indiana limestone entrance, intricate hardscaping and irrigated perimeter plantings. This coveted location of vaunted, historic mansions is centrally located only a stroll to myriad shopping, restaurants, transportation and all points downtown. Now a unique and mindful work of art, this home will resonate with the most discerning tastes and collectors of truly significant architectural design.
