About 767 S 12th St

Nestled in the highly sought-after and desirable neighborhood of Hawthorne, this luxurious 3-story rowhome with a detached 2-car garage and separate apartment offers an exceptional blend of modern convenience, stylish living, and endless upgrades. No expense has been spared to completely renovate this iconic home that is situated directly across the street from the tranquil Hawthorne Park. This home exudes authenticity from the curb. Upon entering, you're greeted by 10' ceilings, a stunning brick wall and a living room/office with glass French doors and a cozy wood-burning stove. The main level also features an extraordinary mudroom with custom woodwork, including built-in cubbies, closets, and shoe racks, along with a full hall bathroom and a back bedroom that serves perfectly as a guest suite. This room leads out to a huge private garden oasis. The second level featuring the showstopping all-white kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting an oversized island, custom Poggenpohl cabinets, a 43" La Cornue dual oven, Subzero Fridge, and high-end lighting fixtures and finishes. The adjacent dining room offers ample space for a table of 8 or more, while French doors lead to a cozy sunroom with a built-in BBQ grill, perfect for year-round entertaining. The grand family room is anchored by an exposed brick wall, accent built-ins, indoor swing, and a gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space for all. On the third level, the primary bedroom continues the theme of luxury with its own exposed brick wall, 18' vaulted ceiling, separate HVAC system, walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom featuring heated floors and an instant hot seamless shower. Two additional well-sized bedrooms with walk-in closets share a beautifully designed full bathroom with another seamless shower and separate soaking tub, laundry chute and heated flooring. Ascend to the rooftop terrace, where you're greeted by a rare sight, a residential green roof which creates an idyllic oasis, complete with a covered pergola for sun and rain protection, a sitting area with a gas fireplace, a wet bar with a fridge, and a weather proof Samsung "The Terrace" TV, all surrounded by panoramic city views for relaxation. Sunrises and sunsets can be seen throughout every window in the house; however, they are exceptionally stunning on the roof garden spaces. The fully finished basement is a true standout, featuring extra-high ceilings, radiant hot water flooring, and a laundry room with a convenient laundry chute. The kitchenette, complete with cabinets, a sink, and a fridge, is ideal for multi-functional use, while the massive storage area, exercise room, and a 700-bottle wine cellar provide ultimate comfort and versatility.

Above the garage is a 400-square-foot one-bedroom apartment, perfect as an au pair suite, guest quarters or as a fully permitted rental property. This apartment features its own kitchen, washer/dryer combo, full bathroom with a seamless shower, and ample living space. It is a truly unique space as special as the main home and shares no walls with any other building! Additional luxury features throughout the home include 1840’s-1850’s Cherry hardwood flooring throughout. The smart home elements include Lutron lighting with automation, professional Wi-Fi routers on all levels, Cat 5 connections in every room, a whole home speaker system with mobile app connect, and a full security camera system.
