3 Nisbet Street

Humphrey Almy house c1887 was originally built as an investment property and remained in the Almy family from 1887 until 1994. Unique for its brick construction and Jerkin Head Roof, this delightful home is a mix of historic charm and modern amenities. Purposely sited close to the street it was one of the first homes built in what is now known as Paterson Park. Step through the wonderful oversized double doors and into the entry hall which is flanked by a parlor to the right and the dining room to the left. Each room is beautifully scaled with 10' ceilings and large windows flooding the spaces with natural light. At the back of the house is a study or home office, powder room and a terrific chef's kitchen with center island, wood cabinetry and a wall of glass looking over the terrace and rear garden. Up the saddle staircase to the second floor is the primary suite with a large dressing room and private bath. There are two additional bedrooms, one is presently used a multi-purpose room with laundry, and an additional full bath. The third floor is a versatile space and could serve as a studio or media room plus an additional bedroom. This one-of-a-kind property is in one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the East Side. Just steps to Paterson Park, the Lincoln school, several houses of worship and all the shops and boutiques at Wayland Square. Whole Foods, the East Side Marketplace and several restaurants are just a short stroll away. Be home in time for spring!
