Description
Welcome home to your sunlight filled multi level townhome that blends early twentieth century character with thoughtful updates. The main level welcomes you with a vestibule entrance that leads to a cozy living room complete with fireplace, old world moldings and trim and an oversized window. The dining area leads you to an efficient and modernized kitchen, perfect for everyday cooking and complete with a gas range, microwave, granite countertops and refrigerator. From here, there is an exit door to your fully fenced in backyard. Upstairs the second level hosts a full bathroom with a shower stall plus the primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms ideal for family or flexible use. The primary bedroom boasts your second fireplace. The third level offers a second full bathroom with a shower stall and three more bedrooms that can accommodate guests, an office, or creative space. An unfinished attic provides storage or future expansion potential. The finished basement adds significant usable living space with a full bathroom with tub, generous storage, and a bonus room that works well as a rec room, home gym, or media room. This home sits in a vibrant neighborhood known for its abundance of classic row homes and a strong sense of community. The area offers convenient access to local shops, dining options, parks, and public transit making it easy to enjoy city living while still finding quiet residential pockets. Built with period details common to early twentieth century construction, this property presents a rare opportunity for buyers and investors seeking a spacious layout across multiple floors plus the flexibility of a finished basement. Public records and recent market listings indicate similar homes in the block have been updated and offered strong interest from buyers looking for space and value in the neighborhood. Both fireplaces are assumed to be working, however the seller has never used them. Schedule your showing today!
