A true masterpiece. Every inch of this home will leave you captivated. One block from the waterfront, this sanctuary blends luxury, modern ease, and sophistication all while honoring its remarkable history. The property sits on land once owned by Richard Arell, a close friend of George Washington. In 1800, trunk maker Ephraim Mills established his workshop here, adding early American craftsmanship to its story. In 1980, it was acquired by famed transportation engineer Alan Voorhees, whose innovations reshaped cities worldwide. The stunning estate has since been converted into a double lot with an expansive addition covering over 5,200 sq ft. of interior/exterior living space. Breathtaking renovations with top-of-the-line designer finishes throughout, this transformed home now features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 5 fireplaces, on-site parking pad plus additional shared private off street parking in the 30-ft alley, and approved permits for an exterior guest house. nnAs you step inside, heated marble floors and a showstopping staircase greet you. The main level presents timeless arched openings, original hardwood floors and fireplaces, a gorgeous dining room, multiple living rooms and lounge areas, and a hand-painted Susan Harter mural connecting the spaces. The powder room features Gucci wallpaper, custom mosaic tile, a custom marble vanity and a gold leaf ceiling. nnThe kitchen is designed to be both functional and strikingly beautiful, anchored by an enormous quartz waterfall
