SIZE MATTERS!! (5,072 sq. feet of living space) especially if you are directly in FRONT OF THE PARK. A truly extraordinary 25' wide Brownstone Townhouse on a 100' deep property, detached on 3 sides. This gem was built across from the center of Van Vorst Park, where the premier townhouses where built along this QUIET tree-lined street (where there are NO buses or two way traffic on this street). This neighborhood is one of Downtown's most culturally and architecturally interesting. It was completely renovated in 2004 and has just undergone an extensive restoration for the past ten (10) months, integrating both boundless elegance yet so easy to live in - the public gathering rooms of this home offer the space and comfort for both grand entertaining and quiet gatherings. The impressive parlor, with floor to ceiling windows consists of a formal and an informal living room, a formal dining room and a spacious eat-in kitchen that overlooks one of the most serine bluestone backyards in downtown. This four (4) story townhouse has five (5) bedrooms, four (4) full baths, four (4) fireplaces, four (4) skylights, along with front and rear gardens. The gracious bedroom floors include a third floor master suite that faces the green canopy of Van Vorst Park along with an abundance of closets. Additional luxuries of this remarkable brownstone includes a possible bonus 2 bedroom, 1 bath lower level apartment that could lease for approx. ($50,000 annually) to entirely cover the annual taxes and insurance expense, or to host your guests, resident nanny or private home office and gym. 2 laundry rooms, audio/video wiring throughout, multi-zone heat and Central HVAC air conditioning system. Four (4) blocks from the Grove Street Path Station & Restaurant Row. Walking distance from The French American Academy & The Scandinavian School of JC. A townhouse of this size, in this location and condition rarely comes on the market. 293 York Street is one of this neighborhood's true treasures.
