Everything from the roof to the foundation, outside walls and structural beams, has been fully replaced and restored to meet your modern day enjoyments of living without ever having to make an update again. Configured as an owner?s duplex with an income producing rental on the second floor, there is a unique opportunity to have a home with two outdoor spaces that provides income to offset your mortgage costs.

Both units have separately metered utilities with energy efficient water tanks, separate compressors for the Fujitsu split units in each room, and imported European radiators made by Hudson Reed. All the windows are brand new tempered, sound proofed glass. On the main floor, the seamless living, dining and kitchen area opens up to a custom made accordion style wall of windows that leads to your private deck for ultimate indoor, outdoor living. The owner?s duplex features 10.5? ceilings, all custom Jonathan Adler light fixtures, antique hardware, scratch resistant LVP 6? flooring and stone windowsills to name a few of the luxe upgrades.

There are exposed brick details that were maintained, re-grouted and glazed in both the living room and the front home office or bedroom. This floor also features a double height skylight and full bathroom with Italian Brizo brass fixtures, an oversized 8? shower door and rain shower head. Downstairs leads you to the full floor loft-like main bedroom, secondary bedroom, a full bathroom and alternate access to the yard. The lower level has the flexibility to be used as bedrooms, office space, home gym, or even multiple rooms with custom closets built surrounding the perimeter of the space. The spa-like bathroom includes an oversized jacuzzi tub with heated backrest and micro jet system for massage therapy, all with Brizo brass fixtures.

The outdoor space is a private garden oasis featuring a perimeter of custom built planters with mature 5 year flowering evergreens, an attention worthy pergola, and a centrally located gas fire pit for relaxing and entertaining. The flooring was made from 24? engineered pavers which are channeled by river rock and a French drain system that is sloped away from the house ensuring seamless drainage.
