The 2nd floor continues to impress with a stunning primary suite with 16' ceilings, two more beds with J&J bath and a laundry room decked out w/ cabinet storage, generous counter space, separate sink, and its own closet. The lower level offers a versatile rec room, w/ a full bath and space for a second office. Outside, the house perks continue with a 2-car garage w/ 11' ceilings + EV charger, a lush backyard w/ new perimeter fence, irrigation system, and a covered walk-out from the basement. All while being less than 1 mile from 2 train stations, the vibrant Van Vleck gardens & Edgemont Park, and a delightful array of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and so much more! Perfection!
