161 Summit Avenue

Owned by just five families in nearly 120 years, this 3 bed, 4.5 bath Parkside residence has been restored to single-family grandeur, pairing original craftsmanship with high-end modern comfort. Hand-hewn quarter-sawn white oak wainscoting and built-ins and a custom quarter-sawn oak staircase set the tone. The chef’s kitchen offers Wood-Mode Brookhaven cherry cabinetry, a Wolf 6-burner dual-fuel range, Thermador double convection ovens, a Sub-Zero Pro 48 glass-door refrigerator, a warming drawer, and seamless Corian flowing into a butler’s pantry with copper sinks and a second dishwasher. A sunroom with a radiant floor overlooks the sunrise, and a heated-marble office has built-in workspace. The primary suite spans the length of the home, with a spa bath featuring a Japanese soaking tub, a multi-head shower and a heated floor. The home also has convenient second-floor laundry, a luxurious third-floor bath plumbed for steam, and flexible third-floor living space. Behind the scenes are Hardie Board siding, Azek trim, blown-in insulation, updated electric, PEX plumbing, a high-efficiency boiler and Kasa smart lighting. Outside you’ll find a two-car garage with a workshop, a large patio, and mature gardens including herbs, a cherry tree and raised beds, all moments from Delaware Park.
