Property Description
If you've been looking for a home that actually has a soul, this is it. This 1870 brick townhouse is pure class with soaring high ceilings and original woodwork that you just can't find anymore. With nearly 2,000 square feet and four massive bedrooms, you finally have the space to live life on your terms. What's really special is the potential of the floor plan because the layout is perfect for creating a first floor master suite. This gives you the option for effortless partial one floor living that everyone wants right now. The flow is exactly what you need with a formal dining room for hosting, a warm family room, and the convenience of laundry already located on the main floor. You can forget about the stress of big maintenance because the heavy lifting is done. The roof, heater, and electric are all brand new and permitted from just two years ago. Upstairs you will find even more oversized bedrooms and a killer third floor flex space that is just waiting to become your private office or creative studio. You even get a fenced backyard for your own private escape. It has the character, it has the updates, and it sits right near Route 22. This home is being sold as is, so come see the vision and make it yours today.
