This single family townhouse has been reimagined by RISD architects Briggs and Knowles in a contemporary gut renovation. This is a single family townhouse with 4 floors plus finished basement. From the oculus skylight to the kitchen, this house has... all the amenities of a luxury home. Over 4,000 square feet stretching over four floors plus finished basement and private backyard.

Garden Floor - 1st floor
The garden floor consists entirely of a gourmet kitchen and dining area, with space for casual seating around a wood burning fireplace. The kitchen itself is high-end with custom bamboo paneling, honed jet mist granite countertop, Subzero refrigerator and freezer, 36” six-burner vented Wolf range top, Wolf dual oven, wine refrigerator, triple sink, Fisher Paykel dishwasher, disposal, and boiling water tap. The rear of the floor opens up to 800 square feet of paved backyard through a full glass façade. Three hidden panel doors give access to a powder room, a pantry and the basement. This level has a separate catering/service/delivery entrance.

Parlor floor - 2nd floor
The parlor floor brings you into a grand, floor-through living room that delivers a ‘wow’ factor the moment you enter the home. There are architectural details, artistically hidden lightning, a large wood burning fireplace and a balcony opening up to the garden. Summer or winter, this is the perfect space for entertaining.

Third floor
The third floor includes a master bedroom with a beautiful wood burning fireplace, and a breakfast bar with mini-fridge and sink.

A Miele washer and dryer combination is also located here.
