Set on an upscale, leafy residential street just a block and a half from the famous shopping and dining mecca of Melrose Avenue and close to Melrose Place, this luxurious architectural duplex exudes ease and elegance at every turn. From the street, iron gates open to a sunny private motor court patio and first of two state-of-the-art units. Enhanced by the materials, finishes and designer details of a multimillion dollar home, the two-bedroom unit features high ceilings, multiple skylights, recessed lighting and rich hardwood floors. The large, glamorous living room is anchored by a sleek concrete fireplace flanked with beautiful bookshelves. A nearly all-white kitchen features luxe stainless steel appliances. Two large, sunny bedrooms; two gorgeous luxury baths, one in rich marble with a soaking tub; and an array of expansive closets complete the setting. Just off this suite, an ultra-private outdoor living room offers the ideal hideaway for morning coffee and evening relaxing.The elegant one-bedroom unit projects the same sleek sophistication. The comfortable living room and sizeable dining room are wonderful for both relaxing and entertaining. The garage is currently set up as a fashionable office space with walls for art, marble countertop with sink, storage and powder room. A sweeping rooftop deck above adds another light-filled outdoor space for sunbathing and entertaining. The property was once owned by Bob Crewe, legendary cowriter/producer of hits by the Four Seasons and a string of other top artists. The songs served as the score to the smash musical Jersey Boys, winning a string of Tony Awards and a Grammy. Also a noted fine artist, Crewe used the two-bedroom unit as a gallery. A perfectly chic setting for an owner/user who needs a guest house, office space and ample off-street parking.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
