A rare family treasure has come to market. Resided in by a family of artists and wine makers (the New York Times calls theirs "one of the rarest Italian wine labels in the world") for almost 50 years, the rich history and creative energy infusing this home is poised to pass on to someone new. The house, a classic Queen Anne bow front, is now configured as a two family home, but conversion to a five bedroom single family is simple. There is no Certificate of Occupancy.

Parlor Floor: Enter from the top of the stoop through the original oak winter doors into the parlor where you will find two magnificent rooms filled with original detail everywhere you look - from the plaster moldings on the high ceilings to the wrap around oak wainscoting to the grand oak staircase.
