320 CONVENT AVENUE - HAMILTON HEIGHTS This limestone corner townhouse with 12 foot ceilings is a gilded age architectural masterpiece. Its 5 floors and 55 foot faade are flooded with light all day long from three sides, due to a rear courtyard. Beautifully maintained and selectively renovated, this house combines unique original interior details with comfortable contemporary living. The home features a classical, columned entrance, distinctive rounded corner tower, and stacked bay windows with historic, and newly restored, stained glass. The natural slate & copper roof has recently been rebuilt according to landmark standards. A wrought iron fence protects the house and its two gardens. The vast spaces of the living-room, foyer, and dining room on the parlor floor, with their 124 ceilings, lend themselves to entertaining on a grand scale. Original oak paneling, 2 fireplaces, parquet floors, and leaded-glass windows make this floor spectacular. The third and fourth floors include 3 immense, high-ceilinged, parquet floor bedrooms, a study with a fireplace, and newly renovated bathrooms. The 5th floor has 3 cozy, dormered bedrooms and a bathroom. The Garden Floor features an eat-in kitchen that seats 10, with professional level Garland range, Fisher-Paykel Refrigerator and Bosch Dishwasher; a large Library/Den with fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The sheltered courtyard off the kitchen allows outdoor eating. The original oak staircase connects all levels and rises to a skylight. Amenities include a full basement with abundance of storage and over 300 Amps of electric power, new zone heating & cooling system on the garden, 4th, and 5th floors.
