The current owner recently completed the renovation of the lower level of the home, creating a beautiful 2-bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with a den/office, washer/dryer hook-up, high ceilings and a certificate of occupancy to provide for significant rental income and/or multi-generational living. Enter the main level of the residence to enjoy its generous open living spaces- a grand living room with lovely bay window and fireplace, large dining room and kitchen. There is an additional kitchenette behind the main kitchen, providing potential for a catering kitchen, or for the creation of an third apartment, incorporating the existing bedroom and bath at the rear of the main level. Up the elegant stairwell to the first upper level, there is a spacious, sunlit primary bedroom with its own fireplace and ensuite bathroom, plus 3 additional bedrooms, a private deck, a hallway bath and laundry facilities. On the top level of the residence, a private bedroom with bay window, additional bedroom and bathroom provide space for family members or guests and complete the interior of this grand home. A deck on the main level provides for outdoor living space, with steps down to the yard and patio. Set back from the street with a landscaped front yard and terrace, the brick residence has an imposing presence and architectural detailing reflecting the quality and taste of an earlier era. The rear of the residence has a sizable yard, patio and a parking pad for 2 cars plus extra parking space. Recent improvements include roof, HVAC, water heater, and on-demand hot water.
