Once inside, meticulous updates and thoughtful design unfold in every direction, creating a home equally suited for gracious entertaining, comfortable family living, and the quiet enjoyment of refined city life on elegant tree lined street .

Outdoor living is as thoughtfully designed as the interiors. A gated front courtyard welcomes with elegance and privacy, while the expansive rear patio and rooftop terrace provide opportunities for dining al fresco, quiet reflection, or lively entertaining against the backdrop of city lights. Every detail of this residence reflects a balance of history and modernity, permanence and comfort. The timeless architecture grounds the home in tradition, while careful updates ensure it meets the demands of contemporary living.
