The residence on 243 Street channels a refined French-provincial spirit through a steep slate-look mansard roof, arched dormers, and symmetrical brick facades framed by limestone pilasters. A recessed, two-story portico—crowned by an oculus pediment—creates a dignified arrival while shielding mahogany entry doors from the elements. Tall arched windows and Juliet balconies animate the upper floor, flooding interior spaces with daylight and garden views. At grade, a rusticated stone water table and corner quoins visually anchor the house, while wrap-around columned porches extend living outward, marrying classical elegance with contemporary family comfort.
