Offering an owners' duplex with two large bedrooms and one and a half baths plus a semi-finished basement, and a top floor very light and bright one bedroom rental. Both units have access to a lush garden with separate wood deck and patio area, and fun play house. The house can easily be used as a one family home.

The second floor bedrooms are very spacious, with clean lines and great ceiling height. The top floor rental has a huge skylight, and wood burning fireplace with exposed brick. A steel spiral stair connects this top floor down to the garden. The basement houses a room built out as a sound studio, a large laundry area, the home's boiler, and lots of storage space. This wonderful, flexible home is surrounded by popular destinations including Four & Twenty Blackbirds, Michael & Ping's, Runner & Stone, The Bell House, and is only four blocks from Whole Foods.
