A suite of premium appliances—featuring a six-burner Viking range with professional hood, Viking refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher—completes the space. Just beyond, a private terrace leads down to a patio and expansive backyard, creating a rare and seamless indoor-outdoor experience. A chic powder room clad in hexagonal marble tile completes this level. Upstairs, three sun-filled bedrooms and two full baths offer comfort and flexibility. The serene primary suite overlooks the garden through a trio of windows and features a generous closet and a skylit Carrara marble en-suite bath with dual vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and chevron-patterned flooring. The secondary bedrooms are well-proportioned with ample closet space. A second full bath with soaking tub, mosaic tile flooring, and skylight, along with a full-size washer and dryer, complete the level. Thoughtful upgrades throughout the home complement the original charm—hardwood floors, exposed brick, custom lighting, and central heating and cooling via Nest thermostat ensure both beauty and comfort. Enhancing the home’s versatility is exclusive access to a generously sized, finished basement—ideal for a media room, gym, playroom, creative studio, or additional storage. The garden-level residence offers a well-designed 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout with its own private entrance—perfect for rental income or extended living.
