Its ensuite bath features combination shower and soaking tub clad in Carrara marble. The second bedroom features custom built-ins, a hidden laundry closet with in-unit washer and dryer, as well as a dedicated hall bath clad in earthy tile and with a stand-up shower. Ten-foot ceilings throughout the upper level is a true luxury and further augments the sensation of space. Arranged like a self-sufficient apartment, the lower level contains a full kitchen with European-style cabinetry, a Bosch appliance suite, and additional stackable laundry machines. The adjacent walkout family room spans the width of the home, the roaring fireplace flanked by built-ins infusing the space with a sense of warmth. A third bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bath with a large vanity complete the lower level. The sunken rear terrace is fully walled, private, and can be accessed directly from the street via a covered side alley.
