Beautiful Brick Townhouse exquisitely restored...A Real Deal

This beautiful home was built circa 1915 and has magnificent original features including: parquet wood floors, wood pocket doors leading into the living room and the dining room.   Original built in mirror in foyer and original double solid oak doors.    This house is one of a kind although there are approx. 6 similar structures on this side of the street and across the street.   This one seems to have most of the original features still intact. 

Brand new galley kitchen installed in 2004 with DW, Microwave, jennair gas range/oven, LG side by side refrigerator and lots of cabinet space.    Off kitchen is an added on breakfast room/nook with lots of light (added circa 1970s and renovated in 2006). 

Majestic high ceilings with original molding in Living Room, Parlor and Dining room.   My wife designed and made the drapes in the entire house and can be included with the price. 

2nd floor:  3 bedrooms including the master bedroom in front which is the width of the house (formerly two separate rooms and at some point was opened to become a very large master bedroom.   Middle BR is small and we use today as a "walkin" closet and dressing area for my wife.   Back bedroom also a good size and again all have very high ceilings.  Bathroom was completely gut renovated in 2003 to include a large triangle jacuzzi tub, standup shower that is underneath a skylight that allows for LOTS of natural light in the bathroom.  New tile flooring.

As with most older houses, closet space is at a premium but the middle room and master BR has decent closet space and there is a separate closet in the hallway for extra storage.  There is a large skylight over the stairwell in the upstairs hallway that also lets in LOTS of light. 

Basement:  Completely renovated basement which includes a master room (dining alcove, living space and/or guest suite with acid stained concrete flooring and open beam ceilings (not boxed in with drop ceiling.)    Brand new european bathroom with open shower head, toilet and sink.

There is a separate room, currently used as storage, but with potential plans for a wine cellar if we were to stay in this house. 

Towards the back of the house in the basement is unfinished "work/utility" area incl. Washer/dryer, slop sink (a GREAT feature) and rear entry to the back yard (steps down and a full door).  

Backyard:  gas line to the house for grill and grass and garden.  Very private backyard due to a stone garage for the opposing house as a barrier.  Plus, west neighbor has a high wooden fence which gives this yard ALOT of privacy--very unusual for a city house.   We love this back yard area.   There is a side alleyway to the east of the house separating us from the next house (shared walkway alley).   This side yard has plenty of flowers and vegetation and in the front are 2 beautiful flowering cherry trees.    Really some of the only trees on the block which I believe distinguishes our house from the rest.   We love this house.   We are considering moving as my wife is a country girl at heart and does not enjoy city living as much as I do. 
So, serious offers accepted and no reasonable offer will be turned away.  

I look forward to giving you more information on our beautiful home.  

Taxes are very reasonable

Transportation:  At corner of JFK Blvd is a bus stop for the local #10 to JSQ and the #99s direct to Port Authority NYC.   I used to commute to Madison & 43rd for 9 years and this bus takes less than an hour typically.   I would say it is on avg a 45-50 minute trip and my stop is one of the last stops that you could ALWAYS get a seat.

Light Rail stop at Westside avenue approx. a 10-15 minute walk (6-8 blocks).
