Property Description

A rare and seamless blend of architectural history and sophisticated modern living. Situated on one of the neighborhood's most desirable blocks, this spectacular 5,500 square foot, 5-6 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom greystone has been meticulously renovated for a comfortable contemporary lifestyle while honoring its classic Gold Coast character. The handsome three-story stone exterior is capped by an ornate, original copper pediment and roof cresting - welcoming one to the home's many well-preserved historic details.
