Just off the kitchen, the spacious dining room is anchored by an elegant marble mantle and exposed brick walls—adding warmth and character. Glass doors open to a private outdoor retreat complete with a newly installed composite deck and raised garden beds—ideal for entertaining, dining al fresco, or enjoying a peaceful gardening moment. A recently renovated half bath with designer tile and premium fixtures is smartly tucked under the staircase.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite easily accommodates a king-sized bed and features a fireplace with Victorian tile surround and a carved wooden mantle. A brand-new ensuite bathroom boasts double sinks with Calcutta marble countertops, heated floors, and a custom closet system. Just a half-flight up, you’ll find another beautifully renovated full bathroom with a freestanding tub, fully tiled stand-up shower, and dedicated laundry space—also outfitted with Calcutta marble and radiant heat flooring. An adjacent bedroom offers flexible use as a home office, playroom, or cozy den.
Continuing up, another half-flight opens to a spacious common area, a third full bathroom, and an additional bedroom. The top floor features two more bedrooms, perfect for guests or growing households. Throughout the upper levels, historic hardwood floors and high ceilings evoke a sense of grandeur, while the home’s unique multi-level layout provides both privacy and flexibility.
Recent upgrades include newly installed sewer and water lines from the house to the street, as well as updated electrical systems for the renovated bathrooms.
