About This Home
As of May 2025Stunning Luxury Rebuild - A Masterfully Reimagined Residence. Welcome to a truly exceptional home, where timeless craftsmanship meets contemporary elegance. This property has been meticulously transformed from the ground up, offering a nearly new construction experience within the charm of an established neighborhood. Second Story Showcase: A complete tear-off and rebuild created an entirely new second floor, featuring three generously-sized bedrooms, two spa-inspired bathrooms, and an open-concept loft space. Each bathroom is thoughtfully appointed with integrated whole-house speaker systems, blending luxury and smart home convenience. Main Level Elegance: The main floor was taken down to the original brick and rebuilt with precision. Two additional bedrooms, a beautifully designed full bathroom, and a custom chef's kitchen with granite countertops elevate the space. The living area boasts a striking modern fireplace and feature wall, creating a warm, inviting centerpiece. Finished Basement Retreat: The lower level has been transformed into an expansive living space, complete with wood floors, a second feature wall with fireplace, and a fully installed water barrier system with a new sump pump-a perfect blend of comfort and durability. Upgraded Systems & Utilities: Brand new windows throughout. New furnace and air conditioning systems. Upgraded water line from the city, ensuring optimal water pressure for the added bathrooms. Exterior Enhancements: Newly poured concrete sidewalks lead from front to back, complemented by a spacious 2.5-car garage with fresh concrete pads, offering ample parking and added functionality. This home is as close to new construction as one can find - without it being brand new. Every detail, from the foundation to the finishings, has been carefully curated to deliver a modern, luxurious living experience.
