Description

Set on an incredibly rare 20’ wide by 100’ deep lot, this home offers a true Queen Village urban oasis with an expansive, lush backyard that is both private and exceptionally hard to find in the city. The outdoor space provides endless opportunities for entertaining, relaxing, or putting your green thumb to good use.

Inside, the home is bright, open, and thoughtfully laid out for modern living. Generously sized rooms flow seamlessly, filling the wide floor plan and high ceilings with natural light. Every bedroom is impressively spacious, offering ease of layout and functionality, while storage is exceptional throughout, including two walk-in closets and substantial basement storage to keep you organized. Enjoy skyline views from the rear bedrooms, as well as calming greenery from all three levels and both North and South exposures.

The lower level adds tremendous versatility (and square footage!) and is currently designed as a multi-functional space featuring a family room and a dedicated gym. Whether you envision a home office, playroom, or expanded entertainment space, the possibilities here are endless. The home also benefits from brand new HVAC installed in April 2026, complete with a 10-year manufacturer warranty and a one-year installation warranty.

Perfectly positioned in a highly walkable neighborhood just steps from the Italian Market, renowned dining, and local favorites, this home offers the ideal blend of space, convenience, and rare outdoor living. Perfect proportions, generous greenspace, and thoughtful design describe what could be your new home.
