This beautifully maintained home showcases original architectural details throughout, including original glass windows, fine woodwork, and built-ins, lovingly preserved to reflect the timeless elegance of the Hill. The interior blends heritage craftsmanship with thoughtful contemporary upgrades for effortless, modern living. The main level is thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday living. A chef’s show kitchen is seamlessly complemented by a separate catering kitchen, accessed through a short connecting hallway, creating an effortless flow for hosting and meal preparation. Custom bamboo cabinetry pairs beautifully with premium appliances, including a 36" Bluestar range and Dacor warming drawer. Ample, intelligently designed storage—featuring pull-out cabinets and dual full-height pantries—adds both elegance and efficiency. The living area is enhanced by Thermal Indow Window Inserts that improve comfort and energy efficiency—blocking cold drafts, keeping interiors cool in summer, and reducing heating and cooling costs by approximately 20%. These inserts also reduce outside noise by up to 50%, prevent condensation, and preserve the historic integrity of the original windows. Complementing these upgrades, wood plantation shutters offer privacy, light control, and timeless style. Every finish reflects a meticulous attention to detail, quality, and design. Upper Level

The primary suite offers a serene retreat, complete with customized Elfa his-and-her closets and a European-style bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, a separate toilet and bidet room, and a large linen closet. The primary bedroom features Noise-Cancelling Indow Window Inserts and wood plantation shutters, providing superior thermal and acoustic performance—blocking drafts in winter, retaining cool air in summer, and reducing noise by up to 50%. These climate-control inserts also lower energy bills by an average of 20% and help maintain healthy indoor air quality by keeping pollen and pollutants outside. The second bedroom offers two closets and access to a recently renovated hall bath (adjoining but not ensuite). It also features a private study nook with built-in bookcases, perfect for reading or quiet work. The third bedroom or dedicated study is small yet thoughtfully designed, offering a comfortable, quiet workspace—ideal for virtual telework or creative pursuits. Together, these rooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or home office use. English Basement / Income Suite

The lower level is a fully finished English basement with rear entrance and interior stairway access to the main home. The unit holds a Certificate of Occupancy and has operated successfully as a short-term rental for over a decade, generating exceptional earnings with documented financials available upon request. This home is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, weekend markets, parks and public transportation.
