Every inch of the 1901, two-family home has been lovingly restored or renovated. The design honors the past but boldly embraces the way we live today. The exterior has been completely renovated, including new windows throughout with Pella Landmarks-approved windows on the front. The owners' duplex is entered on the parlor floor at the top of the stoop and features a vast great room, with uninterrupted sightlines from the front bay window all the way to the kitchen at the back of the house. An exposed steel beam and floor joists, 10' 3' ceilings, wood floors, and exposed brick, create a loft-like feeling. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring custom cabinetry, a sub-zero refrigerator, a Hallman stove, and a huge island. For outdoor entertaining, the kitchen opens directly onto the deck, with stairs leading down to the garden, and indoors, it opens directly on to the dining area that can easily seat twelve people. The living room is flooded with light from the bay window and is centered around a wood-burning stove that is set into the brick surround of the original fireplace. A beautiful powder room is also conveniently located on this floor. Upstairs, is a king-sized primary bedroom with exposed brick, a bay window overlooking the garden, and a dreamy en-suite bath with a deep soaking tub and separate shower, plus a huge, custom closet. A hall bathroom, two more bedrooms, and an office area/convertible fourth bedroom, complete this floor. The ground floor unit can be accessed internally from a shared lower foyer with the owners' suite or from a separate entrance under the stoop. It features, an open-plan living room/dining/kitchen, a full bath with an in-unit washer/dryer, a large primary bedroom with a decorative fireplace, and a second bedroom/office with access to the garden. Below this unit, the finished cellar offers tons of space for storage, a gym, hobbies, etc., and includes connections for another washer/dryer.
