Your opportunity to own a classic, historical piece of history. Not often does this Opportunity arise, to own a Landmarked Historical, stunning example of Greek Revival architecture with refined original details yet modernized for todays living. Its symmetrical façade, traditional clapboard siding, and Doric-columned front and rear porches give the house its unmistakable historic character. As you enter this home, you cannot miss the grand foyer, elegant, stunningly large and featuring 13 ft ceilings accented by original Plaster crown trim. Thoughtfully updated for contemporary living, this historic home now features 3 zone Geothermal Heat and central air conditioning, a modern high-efficiency heating system, and a fully renovated chef’s kitchen featuring Stainless Steel appliances, Traulsen Refrigerator, Subzero freezer, 48” Thermador Stove & matching Vent and Bosch dishwasher. Wrapped in oversized windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day. A discreetly installed full-size elevator (NYC DOB Certified) blends seamlessly into the interior design—so subtle that most visitors would never know it’s there unless shown. Throughout the home, ten beautifully detailed fireplaces, each with its own character, create warmth, ambiance, and a uniquely inviting atmosphere in every major room. The finished basement offers a spacious family area, ample storage, and a custom wine room, all crafted with the same level of care and taste found throughout the home. The expansive dining area welcomes gatherings of any size, framed by large windows and multiple fireplaces that create a truly memorable setting. Just off the dining area, a cozy sitting room with an additional fireplace offers a warm place to unwind. Adjacent to the chef’s kitchen is a pantry, a conveniently located half bath, and direct access to the home’s porch and patio, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. With six bedrooms—each featuring its own fireplace and original wood flooring, this home offers a level of character and distinction rarely found. The second floor includes two full bathrooms, thoughtfully positioned to serve the bedroom suites. The top floor provides access to the iconic octagonal cupola, which crowns this 2.5-story structure and stands as a rare architectural flourish lovingly preserved for generations. From here, elevated views stretch across the property and neighborhood. Approved plans are in place for new patio deck off the kitchen & to raise the cupola’s roof, offering exciting potential for future enhancement. This property is historically known as The Allen-Beville House (google it) and was given landmark status by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1977 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
