Home Details for 259 Westchester Avenue

Originally built in 1860 as the Samuel Parker House, this extraordinary property has been thoughtfully transformed into a one-of-a-kind luxury live/work compound featuring a main residence, a street-level showroom, and a heated, air-conditioned barn with a private studio above.
