237 Hancock Street, Unit 5
Description
The updated and airy space offers a cozy bedroom with original parquet oak floors with inlayed border and is separated from the main living area by an oversized repurposed and restored antique door hung on sliding tracks. The living area is large enough for dining that comfortably sits 6 or more, a separate sitting area and a sizable entry foyer.
Enjoy the open kitchen with butcher block countertops, a breakfast bar, plenty of open shelving to the ceiling, newly painted cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a Smeg refrigerator and a farmhouse sink. The sweet bathroom tucked away by the kitchen offers updated fixtures, an oversized medicine cabinet, black and white floor tile and subway-tiled walls. Rear-facing and quiet, this unit benefits from a new paint job throughout, as well as sanded and refinished floors, brand new windows and a new dishwasher.
