Our Take
87 Broadway is a four-bedroom, two-full-bath, one-half-bath home originally built in 1882 by Peter Gabler of Gabler Cigars fame. A 2017 restoration preserved its history while incorporating contemporary design, and the current owners have continued to enhance the property. The home has an open-concept main level, Carrara marble countertops, a custom kitchen island, built-in shelving, and a brick accent wall in the powder room. Set on approximately half an acre, it also includes a 2018 detached two-car garage, an original gazebo, and a path to nearby hiking trails.
