Welcome to 1616 Longshore Avenue, a spacious stone-front Castor Gardens rowhome offering approximately 1,584 square feet, three upstairs bedrooms, flexible lower-level space, generous outdoor living, and private off-street parking. Step inside to a bright, wide living room with an open staircase, then continue into the formal dining room, where a glass-paned door opens to a balcony—an inviting spot for morning coffee or fresh air. The roomy eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinet and prep space along with a stainless steel gas range and refrigerator installed in 2023. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is a true standout—a spacious retreat with its own private en-suite bathroom and two closets. Each of the two additional bedrooms also includes its own closet. The lower level adds valuable flexibility with a finished bonus room that can serve as a home office, den, gym, guest space, or potential fourth bedroom, plus laundry, an additional bath, garage access, and a rear exit. Outside, the beautiful, expansive front deck is one of the home's defining features—a true outdoor living room with generous space for lounge seating, dining, morning coffee, or gathering with friends. A private rear driveway and garage add the everyday convenience of off-street parking and extra storage. Practical updates include the main roof replaced in 2021, front roof replaced in 2023, newer electrical and breaker box, stainless steel gas range and refrigerator installed in 2023, and washer and dryer installed in 2023. The property is being offered as-is. The dishwasher is not operational, and the dryer is only partially operational and does not perform reliably. With its generous footprint, multiple indoor and outdoor living areas, flexible lower level, and private parking, 1616 Longshore Avenue offers the space to settle in now and the opportunity to make it your own over time. VIRTUAL-STAGING DISCLOSURE: Select living-room, dining-room, bedroom, primary-suite, and front-deck images have been virtually staged to illustrate possible furniture placement. Virtually staged images are clearly labeled and should be viewed together with the corresponding photographs of the vacant spaces.
