About This Home

As of February 2021

Welcome to 309 Fitzwater Street, a very elegant home, in the heart of Queen Village ... in the prestigious award-winning William Meredith Catchment. This shining 3 story, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath new listing has it all. It is a quaint and classic home that has been modernized to perfection. Located on one of Queen Village's many picturesque smaller streets, the 300 block of Fitzwater perfectly captures the essence of living in this tony community. From the moment you walk past the beautifully maintained brick facade into this pristine home, the attention to detail is striking; from the exposed brick wall running the full length of the home, to the brick fireplace wall with custom mantle, and built-in shelves and cabinetry. Let's not forget to mention the first floors's hardwood floors, crown moldings, chair rail, stone slab entrances, gorgeous turned stair case, and Flex Space to use any way you desire. Through a glass door, the first floor is completed by an enchanting city garden, perfect for relaxing or dining al fresco. It is your own personal retreat. A beautifully appointed staircase leads to a very special custom open Kitchen and Dining Area, where in this case the word 'custom' means cabinetry made by a craftsman. No detail was overlooked; from the marble counters, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, LED recessed lights, under cabinet lighting and breakfast bar. The one word is quality. The Dining Area's piece de resistance is a large skylight wall opening to the rear garden, a perfect spot for bringing in the sunlight and growing your own kitchen herbs. There is also a stylish chandelier, as well as, wainscoting and crown molding. On this level there is a Powder Room and Laundry Area. The second floor with hardwood floors features the Main Bedroom, also with a striking brick fireplace and custom mantle. A ceiling-to-floor custom wardrobe was built to highlight the fireplace and adds additional storage. This room is topped off with lovely crown moldings, ceiling fan, LED lights, ample closets and a newer bath with a large shower and a dressing area. A newer hall bath with tasteful finishes, linen closet, and a tub/shower combination completes this level. Last, but not least is the private top floor, with 2 additional generously sized bedrooms, one that can function as both a guest room and office. Both are light and airy ... just like the rest of the home. From a functional perspective, this home has a new fiberglass single roof, all new windows, new clothes dryer, new garbage disposal, newer dishwasher, sump pump, and a large attic, walled and floored with easy-access pull down steps. Come see this move-in ready, classic home with updated decor and an understated elegance. An elegance that is only achieved by such authentic touches ...like the antique stairway chandeliers and original paneled doors. It is a home where pride of ownership shines through.
