Property Description

From the moment you step inside, the scale, selections, and craftsmanship throughout immediately set this home apart. Massive 20x102 lot delivers over 2,500 finished square feet plus extraordinary outdoor space rarely found in the city. Repointed brick façade with rich charcoal trim, sleek architectural sconces, covered front porch with paneled soffit ceiling, modern square columns, and solid-pine entry door create unforgettable curb appeal. Inside, soaring 10’ ceilings, exposed brick, solid oak floors, elegant shadowbox millwork, crown molding, integrated linear fireplace, and custom recessed shelving wrapped in warm-stained wood unfold beneath magnificent front-to-back natural light. Every sightline hits. Sun spills across dramatic bay-window seating and into a beautifully finished kitchen anchored by oversized waterfall island, warm brass statement lighting, custom saturated-blue cabinetry with undercabinet glow, textured backsplash, crisp quartz surfaces, farmhouse apron-front sink, freestanding hood, open shelving, and dedicated dining nook framed by bold paneled millwork. Bright rear mudroom wrapped in designer wall covering with slate flooring, custom bench seating, and beautifully finished powder room with vessel sink and brushed gold hardware. Then the reveal: sprawling 38’ deep patio and garden with newly poured concrete decking, landscaped beds, custom wrought-iron stairs, and towering privacy fencing — the kind of outdoor space city buyers spend years searching for and rarely find. Custom wrought-iron staircase with polished wood banister and cascading spherical chandelier leads to generous guest quarters drenched in natural light. Hall bath with furniture-style double vanity, patterned flooring, deep soaking tub wrapped in Caribbean-blue tile, and convenient second-floor laundry with Samsung front-loading washer/dryer. Owner’s retreat feels pulled from a boutique hotel with exposed brick, stained beam detail, antique pendant lighting, integrated display ledge, custom closet organizers, and exceptional scale throughout. Frosted barn door opens to spa bath featuring stained solid-wood double vanity, vessel sinks, freestanding soaking tub, decorator sconces, and expansive walk-in shower wrapped in mosaic flooring and soft blue tile accents beneath matte-black framed glass. Fully finished waterproofed basement with exposed stone accent wall, white-oak flooring, permitted fourth bedroom, and beautifully finished full bath with Carrera marble floors, artisan tilework, and frameless glass enclosure. All-new mechanicals, roof, and windows. A level of finish, character, and architectural personality rarely found anywhere near this price point. Shows beautifully.
