The owner’s quadruplex (yes, 4 floors!) features gorgeous woodwork, original decorative fireplaces, well-placed brick wall exposures, hardwood floors throughout, and a modern chef’s kitchen.

All 4 bedrooms in the owner’s quadruplex have their own en suite bathroom. Each bedroom can accommodate king-size beds or two full-size beds and all have ample closet space, large windows and incredible natural light. Appointing rooms for fitness, office, guests or common areas, makes the home as multi-purpose as it is beautiful.

The size of the stairwell landings give the home, and its hardwood stairs, a stately architectural detail. The hallway spaces are bright and offer the perfect canvas for your art and photography collections. The washer/dryer is smartly located on the third floor of the owner’s unit.

Another huge highlight feature of the home is the 4th-floor bonus room that seamlessly connects to a balcony and an expansive, fenced in, roof space ready for your design to entertain outdoors with views of the city around.
