Discover an exceptionally large and meticulously maintained two-family, three-story townhouse offering over 3,350 sq ft of living space, a rare 19.5' x 57.5' footprint, and an additional 550 sq ft finished basement. The home is composed of a sun-filled 2,243 sq ft upper duplex and a 1,123 sq ft garden apartment with private basement access.

The upper duplex opens to an impressive 750 sq ft living/dining/kitchen great room anchored by two marble mantels. A rear bedroom, past a full bathroom, leads to a private deck overlooking the garden.

The garden apartment offers three generous bedrooms, an open chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a large living/dining area, a 550 sq ft south-facing garden, and its own fully finished basement. Exposed brick, central air, individual thermostats, and in-unit laundry enhance both residences.
