**SUN-FLOODED FLOOR-THROUGH IN A FULLY DETACHED HOUSE**
**SPRAWLING 3 BEDROOM | 4 EXPOSURES | FORMAL DINING ROOM | PRIVATE PORCH**
Rarely does a rental offer this much space, natural light, and flexibility. Occupying the entire second floor of a fully detached three-family house, this sprawling floor-through residence enjoys four exposures, sunlight throughout the day, and a versatile layout that easily accommodates separate living, dining, work-from-home, and family spaces. Restored hardwood floors, high ceilings, bay windows, and original details create an inviting atmosphere that feels more like a private home than a typical apartment.
The oversized living room is the heart of the home, featuring beautiful bay windows overlooking a landscaped front yard and tree-lined block. Adjacent to the living room is a generous formal dining room with pocket doors and a built-in pantry, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, working from home, or everyday living. An additional family room, dining area, or flexible bonus space further enhances the layout, offering multiple options to suit your lifestyle.
The windowed eat-in kitchen is equipped with a stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, gas range, built-in microwave, abundant solid wood cabinetry, attractive backsplash finishes, and tiled flooring. Thoughtfully designed with ample storage and workspace, it is both practical and inviting.
All three bedrooms are generously proportioned and offer excellent flexibility. The primary bedroom can comfortably be situated either at the front or rear of the apartment, depending on your preference for light, privacy, or views.
