This classically beautiful light, airy room, once the Drawing Room of the
house is generous in size (19' x 18') (approximately 342 square feet) with
high 12' ceilings. A wall featuring an oversized bow shaped window and
French door is far too handsome to obscure with heavy curtains. "Grand-Mere"
lace panels are an enchanting complement and serve to soften the perpetual
sunlight. The south-facing room is also extremely quiet.
In the room, a working fireplace is contained within the lovely original
carved wood and marble fireplace mantel. The centerpieces of the room
include a dramatic four poster Ralph Lauren bed (queen size) and a tall
Normandy armoire. In lieu of a sofa, Grange's Louis-Philippe day bed
(single) invites lounging (the daybed also has a hidden trundle bed that
pulls out). A beautiful mahogany Philadelphia breakfast table with oval top
on a center pedestal and scrolled legs circa 1860 as well as many other
antiques add character and warmth and many oversize paintings, add to the
sense of luxury.
Garden Room Bathroom: A unique compact bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a marble mosaic floor. Botticino Marble lines the walls. French brass and porcelain fixtures round out the bathroom. The showerhead is located in the center of the bathroom, between the sink and toilet. A circular shower curtain, which can be pulled around you on all sides, creates ample space within which to shower (leaving the rest of the bathroom dry).
Garden Room Terrace: To escape the frenetic pace of city life, slip out through the French door
of the Garden Room bedroom. There, tucked away on an expansive deck sits a
verdant garden of Lavender, Roses and many other plants artfully displayed
in jardinières and wooden planters. The private 225 SF urban oasis is just
outside the elegant room & includes an elegant teak bench, three steamer
lounge chairs, a large table & chairs along with a 9'' umbrella. Perched
over the neighboring brownstone garden and adjacent to the house's Cottage,
the terrace provides guests with their own little Urban Eden. The Terrace
can be accessed by Garden Room Guests only and the innkeeper family.
Private bathroom. Private phone line/modem. Year Round A/C. This room has a mini-refrigerator and electric water kettle. Color TV with full cable included.
Phone card or coins are necessary to make phone calls. Free internet connection with local or toll-free number.
