Beautiful three-story limestone row house was built in 1891 by acclaimed architects Horatio Wilson and Oliver Marble. This lovingly maintained home features a spacious formal living room, large enough to accommodate a seating area as well as a dining table and chairs. The separate formal dining room is currently used as a cozy family room. The fully modern kitchen has a built in kitchen table and banquet and connects to a light-filled sunroom which overlooks the new bluestone paved backyard with a dog run and 2 car garage. The second floor features 3 spacious bedrooms, two modern baths, as well as a fully-outfitted laundry room with a new washer and dryer. The impressive primary suite features a sunny bedroom, walk-in closet and fully renovated bath. The third floor boasts a roomy bedroom which is currently used as a home office as well as a full bath accessible from the hallway and an additional guest bedroom. The fully built out lower level provides an additional 1,300 square feet of finished space, including an enormous recreation/family room with wet bar, full bathroom, 2 large storage rooms and an office or work out room, which could also be converted to a 6th bedroom. The lower level is accessible through private doors at both the front and rear of the house, making it available as a separate in-law suite. In move-in condition, this tremendous family home is a must see!
