Property Description
Historic Elegance Meets Modern Living in This Grand Two-Family Home-Currently Enjoyed as a Spacious Single-Family Residence Rich in character and timeless in design, this stately brick and steel home offers over 3,000 square feet of beautifully maintained living space. Dating back to the late 1800s, it seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtfully curated modern updates. Originally built as a legal two-family residence, the property is currently configured and lived in as a large single-family home-offering unmatched flexibility for multi-generational living, future rental income, or continued use as a grand private residence. From the moment you step onto the inviting front porch and through the gracious entryway, you'll feel the craftsmanship and warmth that define this home. The parlor level features a spacious open-concept living and dining area anchored by a built-in fireplace and highlighted by exquisite stained-glass windows. A cozy family room, library, and home office offer abundant space for work and relaxation. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with high-end appliances and direct access to a private outdoor deck-perfect for alfresco dining or a quiet morning coffee. Throughout the home, original hardwood floors, stained-glass skylights, and intricate period details add depth and character at every turn. Upstairs, the serene primary suite provides a peaceful retreat, while two additional generously sized bedrooms offer excellent closet space and comfort. The finished basement expands your living options with a full bathroom and a large recreation or entertainment area-ideal for movie nights, play space, or hosting guests. Built to last with solid brick and steel construction, the home also features two interior staircases and ample room to accommodate extended family, guests, or future rental opportunities. Whether you continue enjoying it as a single-family home or return it to a two-family layout, the possibilities are truly endless. Private parking for two cars is a rare and welcome amenity in this historic neighborhood. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a home that's not only rich in history, but also offers the space, flexibility, and charm to meet your modern lifestyle. Will you be stopping by?
