Thoughtfully updated interiors include newly refinished and stained oak flooring, fresh paint throughout the entire home (2025), designer Phillip Jeffries wallpaper, a striking new chandelier, and a reimagined fireplace completed in 2025. The chef's kitchen, completely renovated, is anchored by exquisite Marfa custom cabinetry and showcases quartz countertops with full-height quartz backsplash, premium Bosch appliances, double ovens, warming drawer, drawer microwave, beverage refrigerator, and exceptional custom functionality designed for both entertaining and everyday living. The adjacent powder room was also renovated in 2022. The lower-level walkout is a legally zoned 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment complete with in-unit laundry and currently tenant occupied, offering a rare opportunity for added flexibility while preserving privacy for the main home. Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard offers an exceptional extension of the home with ample space for entertaining, dining, and outdoor enjoyment, a true urban oasis.
