Description

*Join us this Sunday the 31st, 2-2:30 PM for a virtual open house! Reach out for the Zoom link!*

This bright and beautifully renovated architect-owned home is move-in ready. In a market full of overpriced flips and unrenovated homes needing a total gut renovation, this is your sweet spot.

The owner's duplex has a large, open floorplan with newly refinished solid oak flooring, LED lighting and designer lighting fixtures. The kitchen has all new cabinets, custom concrete countertops, a live edge walnut slab island, all new Whirlpool appliances, and a new terrazzo tile floor. Off the kitchen, you can take the stairs down to the backyard featuring a new cedar fence and professionally curated perennial garden. Also pictured is a photo of the garden from the spring.

Upstairs, light streams in through the large skylight highlighting the exposed brick and new reclaimed oak stair handrail and guardrail. All bedrooms are renovated with new ceiling fans and the master has a large walk-in closet as well as a renovated en-suite bathroom.

The 1 bedroom garden level apartment with separate entrance has new hardware and lighting fixtures, stainless steel appliances, and an open plan living/dining/kitchen area with exposed brick. Tenant, who is in good standing, can stay or the unit can be delivered vacant.

Utilities are in great shape there is a brand new (Q4 2019) water heater, new non-lead water main, and fin tube baseboard hot water heat throughout. If you need room to grow, this already spacious home can be increased by another 1,900 square feet (please confirm with your architect).
