Entering through the left-side entrance, the lower unit offers a spacious first-floor living area with a natural flow through the living room, dining room, and recently updated kitchen. The attached mudroom has been thoughtfully converted into a private laundry room for added convenience. A full bathroom is also tucked away on this level. Up the rear staircase, the large, private bedroom overlooks a beautifully landscaped rear yard, offering a serene urban oasis. This unit also includes basement access, a valuable bonus space equipped with a top-of-the-line sump pump and dehumidification system—perfect for projects, storage or conversion into additional finished living space. The property's second unit occupies the front section of the second floor, where the living room, kitchen, and laundry room are located. The third floor features three well-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing plenty of space and comfort. Both units showcase beautiful hardwood floors, decorative fireplaces, and many highly sought-after original details that enhance the home’s character.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
