Every original detail has been restored in this massive 1850 square foot duplex. It is as though you've gone back in time. Years of paint have been scraped away to expose the original woodwork; on the staircase, closets, and bannisters. The parquet floors have been brought back to life revealing the beautiful rich cherry inlays. The fireplaces (non-working) have also been restored. Even the push button light switches have been rewired. As you come up to this gorgeous building, you will first see the charming stoop. The stoop leads you to your private entrance, once entering you are greeted with a spacious foyer with enough room to store your bikes, strollers or any other gear. As you come up the stairs you enter the main living space; a living room, dining room, kitchen and full bath, with soaring 11 foot ceilings. In the living room you will find 3 large windows, one of the 3 decorative fireplaces, and enough space to entertain a crowd! The kitchen features all Bosch Appliances.The wide hallway that brings together the dining room and living room, features deep storage, a coat closet, a desk area, and you will find a treat; the 2 original marble sink vanities! Off of the dining room winds a wrap around 300 sq foot deck with patio furniture included. A spiral staircase at the end leads you to a shared 90x20 backyard space, filled with peach trees. Someone with a green thumb could easily revive this huge outdoor space. Upstairs you will find 4 spacious bedrooms, each with deep closet space. The master bedroom has the original fireplace plus a small side room with a marble sink and stained glass skylight. A large bathroom with a shower and a soaker tub and yet another stunning stained glass sky light completes this floor. All this plus a convenient location 1 block from Franklin Avenue, 6 blocks to the A, C and 6 blocks to the 2,3,4,5 trains.Cats ok. Washer/dryer hook ups.
