The level also features a full bathroom, a spacious laundry room, and abundant storage. Upstairs, soaring vaulted ceilings and skylights create an exceptional sense of light and openness. Gleaming hardwood floors complement the beautifully appointed living spaces, including a truly distinctive designer kitchen. Three bedrooms and two additional full bathrooms complete the second level. The lovely Primary Suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring patio doors that open to views of the lush green oasis beyond.

Additional highlights include radiant floor heat throughout the main level and in the front attached two-car garage, the 2nd level features baseboard heat and central air conditioning throughout both levels.

Imagine stepping directly from your beautiful home into a lush, professionally landscaped outdoor retreat-an exceptional extension of your living space and a rare luxury in the city. It's an ideal setting for morning coffee, gardening, summer gatherings, outdoor entertaining, or quiet evenings surrounded by greenery. The seller prefers to sell both parcels together, but is negotiable. Adjacent lot (614 W. 37th St.) is listed separately. Lot MLS# 12736577.
