246 Warren St

Built in 1857, this classic brownstone forms the first of a group whose exteriors have been meticulously restored. The building is generously proportioned, 22 x 40 with a large 45 foot deep, south facing garden. Full height doors grace the entrance, opening to the front hallway & gallery with beautiful herringbone floors. The entrance gallery gives into the parlor via antique French wood and clear beveled glass doors.

The living room is beautifully proportioned with a working fireplace and comfortably supports two separate seating groups. It is bathed in light from full height front windows and the 11 ft ceilings enhance the sense of space. There is a custom freestanding center closet which serves both for display and wine storage and provides a sense of separation from the south facing dining room while allowing additional light to fill the space.

The dining room has a 10 high Palladian window and sliding glass doors which open to a private terrace, with stairs to the garden. The adjacent kitchen features vintage double tier doctors cabinets with glass doors. A steel track with a custom oak rolling ladder makes the upper storage easily accessible. At the back of the kitchen is a breakfast area with skylights and an all glass view of the garden.

Step down from the terrace into a layered 3 level mature garden with herringbone brick paths and beds of euonymous and ivy which stay green all year. There are also flowering rhododendrons, ilex, laurel, two flowering cherry trees, a flowering dogwood, and wisteria against the back wall.

The upper two floors provide the current owners with both office and bedroom space. These floors have a more contemporary design featuring a 2 story sky lit atrium that allows light to fill the central studio/library which separates the master suite from the 2 front guest bedrooms. The south facing master has a private terrace and en suite bath. The top floor has an additional three bedrooms and full bath lit by the center atrium which opens to the library below.

The ground floor rental apartment is 3.5 rooms with access to its own stone patio.

Access to the basement bypasses the rental unit completely and can be used for seller storage exclusively.
