Additional highlights include a private in-law suite or rental opportunity, a detached two-car garage, and a rare oversized lot offering exceptional outdoor space and privacy. This is urban living at its finest — where timeless architecture meets unbeatable location.
Inside, top quality built-ins and finishes, a terrific entertaining flow, warm hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and numerous windows create a sun-filled, welcoming atmosphere. The stately living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace flanked by custom built-ins and windows. The bright, airy, and newly renovated kitchen features abundant cabinet storage, a pull out pantry, a windowed sink, an eat-at breakfast counter, and stainless steel appliances.
Seamlessly host and entertain in the large formal dining room which opens to the back deck via glass french doors. At the back of the home, there is a spectacular bonus bedroom or the ideal office with a skylight, custom built-ins, and an attached powder room. A mudroom off the kitchen with exterior access completes this floor.
Upstairs, enjoy a quiet space to relax and rejuvenate. Three large bedrooms offer versatility to suit any lifestyle, all with large closets. The shared hall bath is brightly lit by a window and features a new vanity and a cast-iron soaking tub with shower. The lower-level of this home is incredibly versatile. Storage and a laundry room sit at the bottom of the stairs and a privacy door leads to a complete in-law suite with a full bathroom, second kitchen, and bedroom, offering the perfect rec space, rental opportunity, or in-law suite.
Fabulous outdoor spaces throughout.
