The one you want is finally on market, and it is more beautiful than you dreamed. It is in the neighborhood you've been waiting for, in the vintage brick building with the arts-and-crafts style, the sun-dappled entryway, the classic woodwork. There's a courtyard view from the living room, southern sunlight streams into the room, built-ins around the fireplace beg for your books and treasures. The kitchen has been updated with newer tile, cabs, and counters, there is plenty of space to prep and serve; east light accompanies your morning coffee. The queen-sized bedroom has a generous closet with custom organizers. The full bath is sweet and bright, wth period-preserved tile, porcelain soaking tub and fixtures. Original hardwood floors remain throughout. All these things were in the dream. But there is so much more here! A generous foyer with custom design and deep coat closet welcomes you home each day. Spaces are connected by a long interior hall, the perfect place for your collections. A huge formal dining room with a bank of north-facing windows invites candlelit dinners, and family celebrations. Then, more: a giant rear porch is yours for box-and-pot gardening, dining al fresco, or reading in peace. And if you never wanted to leave, we'd understand, but this gorgeous place is in one of the city's most vibrant, walkable, and accessible neighborhoods - restaurants, shops, transportation all within minutes. What more is there? Radiant heat, stackable W/D in unit, storage, bike room, coin laundry in common area basement, pet friendly building, healthy association. It's here. It's time.
