Must see this sprawling 3 bed 3.5 upper duplex. Entry floor features a quintessential living room that flows into a dining room with a gas fireplace, a breathtaking chef's kitchen with a large butcher-block island, a recently updated full bath, and a spacious bedroom currently being utilized as a home office. The top floor showcases a loft at the top of the stairs, exposed wood cathedral ceiling, and tons of natural light beaming from the skylights in the large bedroom. It also features a medium-sized secondary bedroom, a full bath, and a half bath. The exterior of the home is a tree-filled sanctuary with access to a common yard, as well as picturesque front AND back porches exclusively for the unit perfect for those mid-summer dinner parties.
