About This Home
As of May 2018This 3-story historic townhome built in 1910 has undergone a complete renovation from top to bottom. All of the mechanical systems in the home are 100% new: Plumbing pipes and fixtures, two brand new high-efficiency furnaces with central air conditioning, all new ductwork, electrical wires, boxes, and fixtures. New roof, gutters, windows, and exterior doors. New foundation! All interior finishes are brand new, with real hardwoods and natural stone used. The moldings were custom-milled to match the original character. Some of the original interior doors were salvaged, and the rest were custom-built and finished to match. The first floor has a semi-open layout with the modern kitchen as the center. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a soft gray color palette throughout the downstairs give this space a fresh, bright feel. The kitchen has granite countertops, an island bar, modern cabinets, and subway tile backsplash. Appliances include a built-in stainless microwave, stainless French door refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom, stainless Jenn-Air slide in gas range with downdraft ventilation, hidden dishwasher with matching cabinet front. Large single-basin stainless sink with a pull-down faucet. Open dining area with a unique chandelier above. The kitchen extends into the back room with extra counter space, an additional sink, and tall pantry cabinets. This room provides a lot of options and flexibility. Attached to this back room is a gorgeous full bathroom tiled in Carrera marble with a stunning walk-in shower. The second floor has two bedrooms with spacious closets, and a full bathroom. The bathroom is tiled in white subway tile, and has a refinished cast iron bathtub. New vanity with lots of storage and marble top. At the front is a second-story family room with a large media closet. The laundry room is also located on the second floor with new front-load washer and dryer. Oak French doors lead to the third floor with a large master suite. Huge bedroom with window nooks, and a cushioned window seat. Large bathroom with Carrera marble tile, double vanity, and large walk-in shower. Off the bathroom is a large walk-in closet. Both front and back porch have new composite flooring boards that replicate the historic wood flooring but are completely maintenance free. Porch swing on the front. Outdoor living space in the back with new permeable stone pavers that are both beautiful and environmentally friendly. Listing agent is owner.
