AI comment

This is a large, distinctive historic residence with substantial interior space, multiple bedroom suites, and standout entertaining areas. The roof deck, three-sided exposure, and city/river views add meaningful lifestyle value, especially for an urban property. The layout appears flexible, with a lower-level au pair suite, library, wet bar, and multiple gathering spaces. Buyers should verify key listing inconsistencies, including neighborhood labeling and parking details, before relying on the marketing description. Ongoing ownership costs may be significant given the age, scale, and reported annual taxes.
