    If you’re tired of cookie-cutter townhomes, 517 Kauffman Street is where you should look. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has character, tons of natural light, two outdoor spaces, and a huge renovated lower level, all tucked onto one of Queen Village’s prettiest tree-lined blocks. The main level is a “wow,” with a dramatic two-story living room featuring oversized windows overlooking quiet Kauffman Street. Sliding doors open to a private brick patio, while the dining area flows into a spacious kitchen with wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Monogram gas cooktop, double ovens and wine fridge, and a Miele dishwasher. A coat closet and conveniently located powder room complete the main level. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with custom closets and a full hall bath. The primary suite is on the third floor, with generous closet space, and an en suite bath featuring a double vanity, heated floors, and glass-enclosed steam shower. Just outside the primary is a private deck; an ideal spot for relaxing sunset drinks. The renovated lower level adds serious bonus space, with a full bathroom and plenty of room for a second living area, playroom, gym, office, or guest suite. And then there’s the location: set within the Nebinger School catchment and surrounded by neighborhood parks and playgrounds. Shot Tower Coffee, Square Pie, and John’s Water Ice are just steps away, while Royal Izakaya, Fiorella Pasta, Headhouse Square, the Italian Market, Society Hill, and Bella Vista are all within an easy walk! A parking spot is also available to rent at nearby Bainbridge Lofts. Exterior photos are digitally enhanced.
