Welcome home! Enter off of peaceful tree-lined East 22nd Street onto your expansive front porch with a lovely seating area for those warmer evenings or morning coffee.

Soaring 10 foot ceilings on the 1st floor create a sense of spaciousness for gracious living and entertaining. The expansive living room features 3 large windows, custom built-ins and an original mantle. The generous formal dining room offers room enough for 12, and flows seamlessly into a chef's dream kitchen! Kitchen finishes include: rare soapstone countertops, a 6 burner with griddle dual fuel Wolf range with, bountiful custom cabinetry, a whirlpool gold refrigerator and dishwasher as well as a GE wine refrigerator. There is a half bath conveniently located off of the kitchen.

Up the stairs, stop for a sit in a custom window seat below one of several original stained glass windows. A gracious landing on the second floor opens into 4 light-filled bedrooms.

On the third floor are two large bedrooms, two small bedrooms (office, yoga room) and another full bath with yet another claw foot tub and a separate shower.
The finished basement with a full bathroom and a separate entry is a bonus additional living space that could function in several ways: a children's playroom, gym, or grown child's own apartment! There is tons of storage space, a bedroom, and a large laundry room.
Enjoy the convenience of a two-car garage (automatic operated), and a gated flower bed lined driveway with 2 additional parking spaces.
