A gracefully proportioned Federal style home, beautifully restored and reinterpreted, and filled with natural light, 97 South Second Street boasts four bedrooms, two and a half baths and a large garden with mature, flowering trees and plants. Enter through the front door of this over 20 foot wide home and into a large and bright foyer with a direct view onto the leafy back garden. The foyer opens onto a generous double living and entertaining space with unique features that include brick fireplaces and a wood burning stove. Custom-built, sleek white lacquer cabinets and bookshelves provide a beautiful contrast to the antique geometric moldings and original pine-plank flooring.

Three custom- built armoires, a dedicated linen closet, and a walk-in changing room with floor to ceiling drawers provide plenty of storage. The extensive master bathroom is luxuriously appointed and features a 6-foot stone counter and sink, an extra deep soaking tub, plus a separate oversized shower. Ascend to the fourth floor and be drenched with sunlight. Multiple skylights, seven windows and exposed beams make the top floor a delight. The three bedrooms on this floor are spacious and airy. The central common area can be multi-purposed as a media room, home office or lounge. The full bath has a large shower and a skylight. On the first floor, which has its own street level entrance, there is an outdoor vestibule and an ample entrance hall that serves as a muck-room. A massive open plan kitchen and dining area make cooking, entertaining, and dining a pleasure. Cooks will appreciate the Wolf stove and the kitchen windows which look out onto the garden. Details like wrap-around white marble countertops and glass fronted cabinets complete this cook's kitchen. The hidden treasure of this gorgeous townhouse is the unusually private, verdant garden and terrace. Ascend the 14-foot wide stone paver steps from the first floor into a magical outdoor haven, surrounded by walls of roses, ivy, bamboo and grapevine draping over a cedar pergola.
