Full 10 year CHAP Tax Credit, 2-car parking pad, rooftop deck with water views, and a top to bottom renovation make this Riverside home stand out from anything else on the market right now. The CHAP tax credit will provide a significant real estate tax savings for the next 10 years. This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home blends modern design with character rarely found in a new renovation. Original refinished wood floors, exposed brick, reclaimed wood accents, high ceilings, and abundant natural light give this home warmth and personality, while the new kitchen, bathrooms, systems, and finishes deliver everything you expect from a high end renovation. The thoughtfully designed lower level features 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and direct exterior access from both the front and rear of the home, creating a bright, functional space with remarkable flexibility. And the exterior space is exceptional, with 2 decks, including a rooftop deck with sweeping harbor views from the Domino Sugar sign to the downtown skyline, plus an incredibly convenient location just steps from Riverside Park, coffee shops, and the best neighborhood restaurants. Outstanding style, major tax savings, parking, decks, a thoughtful/flexible layout, and one of the best locations in the neighborhood all come together in one impressive home.
