Boasting a generous amount of living space, this gem has received many thoughtful upgrades that highlight its abundance of original characteristics, including stunning woodwork such as decorative moldings, doors and coffered ceilings; decorative fireplaces; hardwood flooring throughout; and high ceilings, among others.
The mechanicals are similarly in excellent condition with the kitchens, bathrooms, boiler, plumbing, electrical, windows, roof, skylight, and water main all re-done within the last 10 years.
Both units have 2 full bedrooms plus an additional South-facing sunroom/flex space, eat-in kitchen, full-sized dining room, and walk-in closet. The upper unit also has an additional den area. There is a charming front porch and each also has it's own private outdoor space: a rear yard with direct access for the first floor unit and a terrace with treetop views for the second floor. Maintain the existing set-up or easily integrate the entire home into a generously-sized single-family.
Situated on a desirable, tree-lined street, the exceptionally convenient location is nearby to shopping, neighborhood amenities, and transportation.
