Where timeless architecture meets modern ease, this exquisitely renovated greystone offers room to live, entertain, and unwind in style. With six bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a thoughtful three-level layout, every corner invites you to stay a little longer. On the main floor, natural light flows through gracious living and dining spaces, anchored by a designer kitchen and a dining room crowned with a striking fluted light fixture-an art piece in its own right. Wide doorways lead to a rear deck that's perfect for summer dinners or a quiet morning coffee. The second floor is a sanctuary. The primary suite features customized closets and a charming step-up window niche that begs for a built-in seat or meditation perch. An additional ensuite bedroom shares the level, while a private balcony off another bedroom offers a quiet retreat in the treetops. Up on the third floor, the home takes a playful turn: a dedicated Snack Lounge-complete with mini fridge, microwave, and cabinetry-sits among three more bedrooms, ideal for late-night treats or weekend movie marathons. A fully finished lower level provides a guest bedroom, flexible exercise or hobby space, and a convenient exterior entrance. Three separate furnaces deliver zoned heating and cooling for comfort on every floor. Outside, a classic one-car brick garage completes the picture. Set on a serene, short street just blocks from the lake and the pedestrian bridge, this home blends elegance and everyday function. From the statement lighting to the inviting outdoor spaces, 922 E 42nd Place is designed for the way you live-and the way you love to entertain.
