About this home
Charming, Fully Restored Two-Flat with legit Attic Expansion Potential and Parking - Not Your Typical Cookie Cutter Home! Welcome to this one-of-a-kind, well maintained two-flat that offers both classic charm and modern updates-perfect for owner-occupants or savvy investors alike. Sitting on a tree-lined block, this standout property boasts tremendous curb appeal and features fully restored original woodwork, including 7-inch baseboards and rich architectural details you simply won't find in today's cookie-cutter renovations. Each unit enjoys private entrances and is equipped with its own furnace, central air conditioning, and water heater. There are two sets of utility meters, making tenant management simple and efficient. The "owner's unit" showcases soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and the kind of detailed woodwork that brings warmth and elegance to every room. The garden unit is at grade and feels anything but basement-like, with generous ceiling height and full-height windows on all four sides that flood the space with light. A shared laundry room is located in the basement-level mechanicals area and is easily accessible from the brick back addition, which also provides interior access between levels. There's a two-car parking pad in the rear, and easy zoned street parking is available right out front. The attic offers tremendous potential for expansion, with great ceiling height and a wide open layout that could easily be transformed into a luxurious primary suite, office, and/or additional living space. Most major improvements were completed between 2016 and 2017, including tuckpointing and brick replacement, gutter replacement, significant plumbing upgrades, original woodwork restoration, and a complete kitchen remodel in the owner's unit. This is not just a home-it's a rare find with character, space, and versatility. From the welcoming front porch to the sunny garden unit and the attic ready for transformation, this property is loaded with opportunity and timeless charm. If you don't know the area, prepare to be impressed! Douglass Park has it all - an expansive fieldhouse, artificial turf soccer, tennis, multiple renovated playgrounds, water spray features, an outdoor pool, and is great for dog owners. It's also home to Riot Fest which gives free tickets to property owners as a way to give back to the community. Located right by Mt Sinai Hospital and an8-minute walk to the Pink Line Station. Schedule your private tour today and experience the warmth, craftsmanship, and potential this incredible property has to offer.
