Property Description

Rather than a full gut renovation, the artist couple owners have thoughtfully and selectively restored this semi-detached row home in Park View, adding chic, modern conveniences while remaining true to this lovely home's original character. Warm, hardwood floors throughout complement updated windows, a rear renovation that opened the space to more natural light and a handsome, updated front porch - along with clever features like radiator covers with built-in bookshelves and chic, modern light fixtures. The kitchen is a marvel of practicality, with stainless steel appliances, open shelving, a prep island and a window that fills it and the connected dining area with light. A stylish powder room on the main floor adjoins the enclosed sunroom. At the end of a long day, the peaceful primary suite welcomes you to relax, situated at the back of the house. The spa-like en suite bath has a marble and glass shower, generous built-in closets and a wall of windows overlooking the trees. The additional full bath is equally as beautiful, with a skylight and modern fixtures. The lower level welcomes family movie nights with a rec room, full bath, a built-in work station and convenient laundry nook. Gardeners will enjoy the deep, fenced yard lined with trees, including a glorious Japanese maple. 2 off-street parking spaces complete the home. Reinvigorate around the corner at the all-day coffee shop, Doubles, grab drinks at St. Vincent Wine Bar, Hook Hall or Midlands Beer Garden or enjoy bagels at home from Call Your Mother. The metro is half of a mile away.
