From Ashbury Street, one ascends a staircase surmounting the garage, arriving at a broad terrace finished in mosaic tile. This is just one of many outdoor spaces at 459 Ashbury that will beckon for coffee and the newspaper on a weekend morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The terrace eases one into the home, where one proceeds either upstairs or to the living room. An immense bay window floods the living room in natural light, illuminating the carved stone fireplace and mantle, the ornate chandelier rosettes, and the espresso hardwood floors found throughout the home. Scroll-shaped brackets near the ceiling mark the transition to the dining room, where a wall with extensive built-in shelving crafted from live-edge boards adds a distinctly contemporary flair.
