Currently configured as a two family with an owner’s duplex and a top floor rental, it could easily be used as a single family: opening up a myriad of choices for room usage.
Imagine a formal dining room in the large parlor level room at the back of the house—its French Doors leading to the massive eat-in-Kitchen, leading out to the Private Backyard Oasis.
On the top floor create an extra-large primary with en suite bath and an entire room for a closet – the plumbing is there! Don’t feel like carting your laundry down to the basement? No need, there is a washer/dryer on this level. A wonderful feature in a rental and a great convenience in a single family. This floor also features a full bath, galley kitchen, and small ancillary room which can serve as a small bedroom or study.
On the lowest level you will find a half bath and a mostly blank space. Currently divided into three rooms, the area can be opened up to create a den, home office, media room, or game room—see our virtual rendering included with the photos. There is a utility sink and washing machine down here as well.
Finally, there is the backyard. Your own personal sanctuary! Enjoy a quiet moment with your morning coffee. Invite your friends and neighbors for a BBQ. Play fetch with FIDO.
