Property Description

For those drawn to the lifestyle of a luxury condo but unwilling to sacrifice privacy, outdoor space, parking or architectural character, this is a truly distinctive alternative. Imagine having the design sensibility of a sophisticated urban loft, the privacy of a single-family home, and your own private outdoor space. This architecturally distinctive 1908 home has been thoughtfully transformed into a sophisticated urban retreat where dramatic design, clever engineering and everyday livability come together. A soaring 22-foot vaulted ceiling, expansive windows and a sculptural staircase create an extraordinary sense of volume and light, while natural travertine floors warmed by hydronic in-floor heat add comfort and warmth throughout the main level. The custom walnut kitchen anchors the open living and dining spaces, with one of the home's best surprises cleverly concealed beneath the kitchen stools: a motorized hydraulic trap door provides access to the lower level. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite feels more like a private retreat than a traditional bedroom. A flexible main-level room is ideally suited to a home office, studio, library or guest space. Outside, a peaceful, low-maintenance courtyard creates a private oasis in the city, while the two-car garage provides coveted off-street parking. And then there's the location: exceptionally walkable, with neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, parks and everyday amenities close at hand. The home's distinctive architecture and stellar location also create intriguing possibilities for those considering a future short-term rental, subject to applicable city requirements and licensing. A rare opportunity for someone who values design, location and a home that is genuinely unlike anything else.
