Airy, bright, open: the parlor floor of this stunning townhouse retains its historic character with an ornate original entry way and gorgeous carved wood stair while inviting in a maximum of light and air with an open design and large glass wall leading out from the kitchen to the deck and yard.

A wood burning fireplace anchors the living area, there's a separate nook for a desk overlooking the garden, and an ample dining area. Central heat and air keeps the space comfortable without cumbersome wall mounted units or radiators. The top floor of the duplex is equally airy with unusually high ceilings throughout. The spacious primary bedroom will remain uncluttered with it's large walk in closet and a comfortable, bright en-suite overlooking the very private garden. Two more bedrooms, another full bathroom, and a laundry room complete this floor. The garden is framed by mature trees which provide privacy and tranquility. Sit on the deck off the kitchen, and enjoy the bird-song while you sip your coffee in the morning sunshine. Go down the stairs to enjoy the rest of your large garden, with separate patio and grassy areas-- plenty of space to garden, play and entertain. On the garden level, there's a well-designed two bedroom rental currently occupied with a market rate tenant. The upper duplex retains access to the cellar which is currently used as storage but would be a great play space, studio, or dedicated exercise area. Showing during open house times only.
