Additional Information

Owner’s Unit:

• Arriving at the building, you will see a graceful two family with a lovely purple door that welcomes you in. The large covered mahogany front porch has a delightful swing.

• Upon entering, you will find 2 rooms flanking the center staircase. To the right is a unique mud room with 2 double door closets for ample storage, and to the left is a large well lit home office with a bay window and a fireplace. There is a shelved closet just outside the home office so this room could easily be used as a 1st floor guest bedroom. These 2 rooms were added to the Owner’s unit in 1998.

• On the second living level you will find a well-lit living room with plentiful windows and recessed lights, open to the dining area. Beautiful white columns, ceiling medallions, and a fireplace, add a touch of elegance.

• The kitchen features ample cabinets, many of them glass-fronted. There is track lighting for the work areas, and a pretty glass pendant light for the breakfast table. Appliances include a Bosch gas stove, a KitchenAid dishwasher, and a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator. The built-in spice racks and knife rack will remain.

• Off of the living room is an oversized mahogany deck, perfect for morning coffee or dining alfresco.

• The bedroom off the living area is currently being used as a home office and has picture molding, 2 windows, a closet, and ample open shelving.

• The main floor full bath has a tile floor, pedestal sink, medicine cabinet, white beadboard, and a tub and shower combination with white ceramic tile.

• The rear of the 2nd floor has a carpeted room that is currently being used as a den but could easily be a 4th bedroom. This room has a closet and gorgeous built-in bookcases with custom cabinetry below. There is supplemental electric heat which the Sellers never used.

The first bedroom is filled with character - a reading nook with window seat and upholstered cushions, and a ladder that takes you to a secret hideaway loft. This room has a closet, built-in bookcase and cupboard, a ceiling fan, and a bath with a shower.

• The natural light in the primary bedroom is incredible - huge windows and 3 skylights stream sun all day. This bedroom is large enough to include a seating area and there are 3 closets, including a walk-in, and a wall AC. The custom shutters provide privacy and adjust to let light in. Don’t miss the built-in ironing board!

• The en-suite bathroom includes a 2-person jetted soaking tub with a skylight overhead, a vanity for storage, and a walk-in tile shower with a built-in seat and glass door. In the closet, there is a Maytag stacking laundry, included in the sale. There are 3 built-in cabinets, 2 for toiletries, and one perfectly designed for laundry!
