While still beautiful in its current state, envision the incredible transformation this home can undergo with thoughtful updates and renovations.
With four levels of living space, this property being sold as is presents an array of unique features that set it apart. The main level boasts high ceilings and showcases beautiful wood beams and trim that exude elegance and craftsmanship. Upon entering, you'll be captivated by a wall with stunning exposed brick, lending character and warmth to the space. The natural wood staircase becomes a focal point, gracefully connecting the formal living room and dining room, while ornate fireplaces in each room further enhance their grandeur. The formal living room showcases a bay window, filling the room with natural light and adding a touch of elegance.
The main level also features pocket doors, allowing you the flexibility to separate rooms or create an open flow throughout. Ascending to the second level, you'll find three bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. The very large primary bedroom on this level has a wall of windows that provide amazing natural light. The middle bedroom offers an elongated layout, presenting the potential to add an additional bathroom between the primary bedroom and the second bedroom. The rear bedroom offers a balcony overlooking a small, enclosed backyard, providing a private outdoor space to enjoy.
Continuing to the third level with an exposed brick wall on your left and you'll find two bedrooms—a large one with wonderful windows and a smaller one—offering versatility for various needs or potential customization.
The spacious downstairs lower level boasts separate front and back entrances, making it versatile and easily accessible. It features a bar area and previously housed a kitchen, which can be converted back, making it ideal for entertaining or creating a separate living area.
Embrace the opportunity to restore this historic gem into a truly magnificent residence and experience the energy of Bloomingdale living in this well-located home with trendy restaurants, inviting cafes, and unique shops, all within easy reach. Commuting and exploring the city is a breeze with convenient access to public transportation and major transportation routes. "All contents remaining in the property will convey with the property."
