This circa-1850 single residence has been fully renovated juxtaposing its 21st-Century modern design elements and amenities with the historic architectural details of its past. Designed for gracious living, the parlor floor with its double-door foyer entry welcomes guests into an expansive living room that faces south onto West 11th Street and showcases a woodburning fireplace with original marble surround and walls to display an extensive art collection.
