This light-filled classic Federal style home has been meticulously renovated and rebuilt, maintaining its original charm while incorporating modern updates. The renovation includes leveling floors, rebuilding the main staircase, adding an en-suite bathroom, installing matching trim and doors, and enhancing insulation and soundproofing. New electric wiring, copper plumbing, HVAC systems, windows, doors, and a roof with a sky hatch have been installed. Internally, the home features new maple hardwood floors, a primary en-suite bathroom, a modern kitchen, and convenient bedroom-level laundry. The exterior boasts a welcoming front garden with an ornate iron staircase, a rear deck, a slate patio, and a concrete driveway that accommodates two cars securely. On the main floor, there is a spacious living room with a gas fireplace, a dining area, and a kitchen equipped with classic white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a stylish penny tile backsplash. This level also includes a powder room and access to the outdoor areas. The upper level houses three bedrooms and two new bathrooms, with the primary bedroom offering ample natural light, an en-suite bathroom with dual sinks, and extensive storage. The lower level provides versatile, light-filled space, suitable for a recreation room, home office, guest accommodation, or a potential income-generating unit, complete with its own bedroom, full bath, and separate entrances, along with existing plumbing for a kitchen or laundry. There is a charming coffee shop on the corner of the street. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, shops, restaurants, and theaters are all within walking distance. Every detail has been thoughtfully addressed, making this home perfect for those seeking the convenience of city living without compromise.
