The basement boasts soaring 9' ceilings with a rec room, fully featured kitchenette, bedroom, gym, and a wine cellar. Custom-built closets are accented throughout the house and in-ceiling speakers, multi-floor Wi-Fi, and ethernet wiring provide all the necessary connectivity.

Adding to its allure, the property includes a carriage house with a private entrance from the Hill's best alley at Browns Ct.
