Description
Impressive Victorian-style detached home with an additional versatile heated, cooled, and insulated living space that was formerly a two-car garage. The possibilities for this space are endless! It could serve as a private dance studio, home office, or a perfect spot for gatherings. The gated driveway adds to the sense of privacy and exclusivity. The inviting wraparound porch welcomes you just a block from Germantown Avenue. Meticulously restored inside and out, the home preserves its original charm while offering fully updated systems throughout. Enter through the vestibule into the sun-drenched first floor, where large windows on all sides fill the space with natural light. The open-concept layout features a kitchen island that separates the dining area, perfect for entertaining. The spacious living room showcases an original mantel, while the kitchen boasts white cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a washer/dryer with a custom barn wood countertop sourced locally. A pocket door leads to a half bathroom, and windows overlook the expansive backyard, a rare grassy open space in the heart of the city. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and recessed lighting continue throughout the home. Upstairs, the owner's suite includes double closets, a marble-topped vanity, a glass-enclosed custom shower, and a restored original cast iron tub. Adjacent to the suite is a nursery and a hall bath featuring marble flooring, a corner storage cabinet, a marble sink, and a subway-tiled tub. The third floor offers two additional large bedrooms, with the front bedroom including double closets. The expansive, dry basement has been freshly painted and sealed. This home also features recently updated mechanicals, plumbing, electrical, and roof.
