939 St. John's Place 4 Bed / 3.5 Bath Duplex 2,400 Sq Ft Private Backyard
A masterfully restored two-floor residence offering 2,400 square feet of living space within a historic townhouse, where century-old craftsmanship meets modern refinement.
The parlor level unfolds in a sequence of stately rooms framed by original mahogany wainscoting, coffered ceilings, pocket doors, and inlaid parquet floors each detail carefully preserved and enhanced. A dramatic formal dining room transitions seamlessly to a sun-filled salon anchored by floor-to-ceiling millwork, picture-frame moldings, and bay-window seating.
The chef's kitchen combines modern functionality with timeless style: marble countertops, unlacquered brass fixtures, custom cabinetry, and integrated stainless appliances. A breakfast alcove framed in rich wood paneling opens onto a private backyard terrace, ideal for dining al fresco.
Upstairs, the bedroom level offers four gracious chambers, each with distinctive proportions and light. Bathrooms are appointed in marble and handcrafted tile, with arched shower entries, brass fittings, and bespoke vanities reminiscent of prewar European design.
