Generous in scale and refined in design, this attached SF offers space and livability rarely found in an urban setting. Four finished levels are connected by a continuous stairwell, creating a distinct yet cohesive layout. The main level—anchored by white oak floors, nine-foot ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace—flows seamlessly between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The 2019-renovated kitchen features quartz counters, a waterfall island, Thermador appliances, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, with direct access to the expansive deck and private fenced garden/yard. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet, dressing room, and spa-like bath, joined by a generous en-suite bedroom and laundry. The top floor offers two bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and a shared bath. Flexibility abounds in the lower level with two large living spaces—one previously used as a media room—plus a wet bar and full bath. Two off-street parking spaces with EV charger complete this rare offering.
