Stunning first-floor apartment available in a historic 1894 Victorian home. This home just finished renovations to modernize the living features, while still keeping the historic charm of the building. A mini-split system was added for high-efficiency cooling and heating. The eat-in kitchen was renovated with new quartz countertops, backsplashes, custom mauve cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances. The living room was fitted with a new gas fireplace. The expansive primary bedroom now has a gas fireplace, a luxurious tub, a walk-in closet, and a gorgeous en-suite bathroom. The secondary bedroom also now has a gas fireplace. Charming character is displayed throughout in the original arched doorways and ceiling medallions. The unit can come unfurnished or partially furnished, tenants can decide prior to move-in. In-unit laundry. Off-street parking. This is the perfect home for someone who loves ornate historical houses, but still wants modern quality-of-life features!
