The builder, James Keelty called his suburban rowhouses "group homes". You were either living in an interior unit or an end of group unit. This distinguished them from the long unbroked rows of "old fashion" homes associated with city living. A grouping was about 4-8 homes, leaving room to embellish the development with lawns, trees and shrubbery ... giving off that village feeling. You know you are part of an iconic neighborhood when it has a nickname. THE FORGE was given its historic designation in 2007. 47 Dunkirk Road contributes a vital part to that community feeling. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed interior. The inviting flooplan includes a formal living room with a wood burning fireplace surrounded by book cases and a charming decorative relief on the wood mantelpiece. The formal dining room is adjacent to the step saving kitchen. The second floor has three large bedrooms with a SURPRISE. There is a PRIMARY BATHROOM. On the main and bedroom levels enjoy the warmth of hardwood floors. The lower level family room wall is lined with knotty pine paneling. The wood glows with a warm, honey-toned hue and reflects the flickering flames of the gas fireplace. The utility room offers plenty of storage, a half bath and a sturdy workbench with a thick worn top, scarred by decades of countless projects. The 2024 heat pump provides heating and cooling. On chillier days one may prefer the vintage radiators fueled by an efficient gas burner to warm the space quickly and evenly, The backyard is enclosed by a weathered wooden fence and arbor, giving a sense of privacy and charm. Against the fence there is a raised garden bed with colorful plantings. A curved brick path meanders gently to the detached garage and parking pad. View this serene backyard from the awning covered porch and the concrete patio. This townhome backs to the community open space/playground so the alley does not feel crowded. Join this vibrant village.
