Measuring just under 20-feet wide by 40-feet deep, this property consists of an upper five-bedroom triplex, a lush rear garden, an enormous storage cellar, as well as a two-bedroom garden apartment. Now, the chic abode is being listed for $4,000,000. Scroll ahead for a fascinating peek inside.

The kitchen includes top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, countertops in French Blue de Savoie marble, and a Pullman rolling ladder.
