About this home

SHOWINGS START IMMEDIATELY. This building was likely one of the first to receive the "full gut renovation" treatment in this Eight Streets neighborhood and it provided the developer with a blank canvas opportunity to design this home in a timeless style with exceptional architectural details and fine finish carpentry. The end-of-row location provides 3 exposures of light. The main floor consists of a commercial quality kitchen with Thermodore appliances and a 256 bottle wine chiller, a conveniently located deck with water, electricity and gas connections, a powder room, a study, a spacious and sunny living room with gas fireplace and all this with 10 1/2 foot ceilings. The upper floor has 3 bedrooms where the primary has a designer ensuite bathroom with radiant heat. This floor also has a guest bathroom and laundry closet. A full stairs leads you to the large roof-deck with water, electricity and gas connections. Garage rental/purchase options are available in the neighborhood.
