Charming late-1920s duplex 1+1 unit, plus Dining Room fully closes off with French doors, making it a great space for a separate home office. Featuring refinished original hardwood floors, large windows, original built-in cabinets and other period details throughout. Living space extends to your own sunny, separately-fenced and gated approx. 500sf back yard (25' x 20') under a mature tree. Living room's windows on each end let both morning and afternoon light stream in. Including one full wall of French doors, flanked by shelved built-in cabinets with glass pane doors. Living room, bedroom and dining room feature picture rail moulding, with the original recessed detailing in the living room ceiling. Two sets of double French doors each lead from living room to either end of this--at 651 sf--cozy, yet light-filled, bright and airy unit. See floorplan in photos. One set of living room double French doors leads to a large bedroom with windows on two walls, a small cedar-floored walk-in closet with its own tiny window, and a door directly to the bathroom (with an "en suite" master bedroom effect). Ceiling fan is provided in the bedroom. The bathroom, with original larger double hung window, has a white subway tile shower-over-bathtub, with pedestal sink over Art Deco-era hexagonal tile-patterned sheet vinyl floor. Bathroom adjoins to both the bedroom and living room. Another set of double French doors leads from the living room to the dining room with original small built-in cabinet, and large picture window. Sliding glass French pocket door leads from dining room to galley kitchen with original built-in cabinets--including wooden icebox tray and slatted wood shelves--with new grey quartz countertop and 1920s black glass cabinet door pull knobs, and access to large, private fenced back yard. Kitchen and dining room are only rooms that have a shared wall with similar unit next door, along with one stretch of fencing at the end of your separate back yard. Gas stove and refrigerator included. Large closet in living room may have originally housed a pull-down murphy bed, but is now additional storage, or can be a recessed spot for home entertainment electronics. Unit has its own, dedicated water heater and thermostat-controlled floor-register gas heater. OUTSIDE SPACES Kitchen door leads to your private, fenced, over 500sf back yard under a large tree. 25' x 20'. Plenty of space for your outdoor patio furniture. Designated driveway parking spot has room to be used as outdoor patio space. There's a ton of potential for back yard...bring your green thumb! NEIGHBORHOOD This home is on a wide street that is well-traveled with foot traffic, but is nearer to stop signs than stop lights, and is in a diverse, urban--yet suburban-feeling--neighborhood, full of 1920s, 30s and 40s, and earlier, homes. Recently restored and renovated Victorian homes around the corner on 15th Street make for a lovely neighborhood walk, on a street lined with mulberry and other mature trees.
