Located on picturesque tree-lined Carroll Street between Clinton and Henry, this historic 1870 brick and brownstone four story townhouse encompasses approximately 3500 square feet of magnificent living space plus finished basement. With original preserved details throughout, this home boasts grand proportions and a gracious layout. Outdoor space consists of a 870 (approximate) square foot color infused rear garden planted with decadent rose bushes, a fruit-baring apricot tree, a Japanese maple, grape vine, and holly, to name a few. With southern and northern exposures, grand ceiling height, and over-sized windows throughout, this striking home is bathed in light from sunup to sundown - creating a warm and welcoming environment. Currently configured as a magnificent two - unit home, the impressive twelve-foot ceilings on the parlor floor are complimented by rarely seen twelve-inch oak wide-planked floors and crown moldings which set the ideal stage for grand living. Southern facing is a recently renovated, country-style kitchen outfitted with nineteen-twenties-era pressed-tin ceilings, top of the line stainless appliances including a six-burner gas range with a vented hood, oven, convection oven, wine fridge and double freezer refrigerator and dishwasher.
