Newly listed! This beautiful two-family brick townhouse has been meticulously maintained by the same family for over 60 years. Currently used as a three-bedroom rental over the owners two-bedroom apartment, this house can easily be converted to a lovely and spacious -- one family. In addition to two bedrooms, the first floor features a formal dining room living room with high ceilings, new hardwood floors, three closets and a pretty front porch. The eat-in-kitchen has been tastefully designed with quartz counters, decorative tile back splash and stainless-steel appliances. The new bathroom has a marble topped vanity and gorgeous mosaic floor tile that extends into the walk-in shower. The second floor has a similar layout to the first, but boasts an additional bedroom that leads out to a large front balcony. Charming original oak trim, banisters and flooring can be found in the entrance hallway and second floor, as well as high ceilings and decorative fireplaces.The lower level has been gut renovated, which both extends the owners living space and offers extra space for visiting guests who have the luxury of their own private entrance. There is a large recreation room with high ceilings and two double closets for storage, an office or extra bedroom, separate pantry, dining area and a bathroom. The south-facing backyard has a patio for outdoor dining and fabulous tiered gardens that give a soft, colorful border to the property.
