Description
Thoughtfully renovated, this 17-foot wide, 3400* square foot townhouse is currently re-configured as 2 separate apartments and can easily be re-imagined as a single residence. Each unit currently offers 2-3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms as well as generous living/dining space.
The garden level apartment, occupying the first two stories, offers an open Kitchen and Living/Dining space on the ground floor, as well as a small guest bedroom or home office, a full bathroom, and a large, peacefully quiet screened-in porch, overlooking a lush garden. On the Parlor floor, there are two sizable bedrooms and a second full bathroom. Currently being used as an artist’s studio, the rear Parlor could also serve as a large bedroom, that opens onto a spacious terrace. The parlor floor has 10'-10" ft ceiling heights accentuated by exceptionally large windows.
The upper unit occupies the 3rd and 4th floors. There are 2 generous bedrooms and a full bathroom on the 3rd floor with another spacious bedroom on the 4th floor in the rear, along with a full bathroom, Kitchen and Living/Dining room.
Both apartments offer split units for heat and air conditioning as well as some window AC’s, washer/dryers, and ample closets throughout. The large, refurbished basement provides excellent storage space and houses new boilers.
Built in 1899, this Townhouse was home to a single family for over 100 years. The current owners fully renovated the house, updating the infrastructure and finishes, while preserving its historic charm and character. Conveniently located to the B,C and 2,3 Subway lines as well as the M2, M3 and M10 buses. Just a little over one block to St. Nicholas Park.
Delivered vacant at closing. With super low real estate taxes, this townhouse is not to be missed -- a great place to live or investment opportunity!
