The newly renovated second floor is dedicated to private living quarters and offers four generously proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive primary suite spanning nearly 20 feet in length and featuring a private en-suite bathroom. A beautifully appointed full bathroom and abundant closet space complete the level, along with a versatile home office/bedroom. Occupying the top floor, two oversized sun-drenched bedrooms are connected by a spacious central sitting room, creating a flexible retreat that can easily accommodate guest quarters, home offices, creative studios, or additional living space. From this level, enjoy sweeping views and vistas of the iconic Verrazzano Bridge, a rare and memorable backdrop that further elevates this exceptional residence.

The fully finished lower level significantly expands the home's livability, offering a large recreation room, bonus room, full bathroom, dedicated laundry area, sauna and extensive storage. Whether utilized as a media lounge, fitness space, home office, playroom, or guest suite, this level provides exceptional flexibility to meet a variety of needs. Thoughtful upgrades throughout the home include new windows, new Mitsubishi split-system heating and cooling units, beautifully restored original details, and a gas fireplace that add warmth and character while enhancing everyday comfort.
