Crestwood rowhouses are part of a long tradition of fine American homebuilding. They often provide superior floor plans, better natural light, and more efficient use of space than their larger, single-family counterparts. Having recently undergone a complete renovation, this semi-detached rowhouse offers a spacious and immaculate interior while being sheathed in a handsome and restrained period style. The entire house was reconfigured to provide the maximum amount of ceiling height, room dimensions, and storage for every purpose. Smaller rooms have been replaced with a gracious, open arrangement and an impeccable contemporary design. The luminous main level offers an open format with the living room, dining room, and kitchen all on one axis, creating the effect of an enfilade through large, high openings. This design provides for excellent light from the garden to the front of the house. The kitchen and dining room have been joined into a contiguous space with ample cabinetry and plenty of room for guests. A powder room is conveniently located near the entrance to the deck, which leads onto the garden and two-car garage. The second floor carries out the same esthetic sensibility as the rest of the house and offers a master suite with high ceilings, a walk-in closet with skylight, and large en suite bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms, one of which faces the garden, as well as a full bathroom, linen closet, and laundry. The bedroom facing the garden is currently functioning as a home office for both owners. The lower level is accessible from the main floor in addition to having its own entrance. It was designed as a separate au pair unit, with bedroom, living room, kitchen, and full bathroom, but may function as additional living space. It also serves as a comfortable guest space, offering all occupants privacy. There are three additional storage rooms on this level that can serve any need.
