The garden unit is at grade and feels anything but basement-like, with generous ceiling height and full-height windows on all four sides that flood the space with light. A shared laundry room is located in the basement-level mechanicals area and is easily accessible from the brick back addition, which also provides interior access between levels. There's a two-car parking pad in the rear, and easy zoned street parking is available right out front. The attic offers tremendous potential for expansion, with great ceiling height and a wide open layout that could easily be transformed into a luxurious primary suite, office, and/or additional living space. Most major improvements were completed between 2016 and 2017, including tuckpointing and brick replacement, gutter replacement, significant plumbing upgrades, original woodwork restoration, and a complete kitchen remodel in the owner's unit. This is not just a home-it's a rare find with character, space, and versatility. From the welcoming front porch to the sunny garden unit and the attic ready for transformation, this property is loaded with opportunity and timeless charm.
