The front bedroom opens to a large, sunny balcony perfect for your morning coffee or evening unwind, and offers generous space for a bed, desk, and more. The bath servicing this room includes a soaking tub and ample cabinetry for easy storage. Down the hall, the rear suite is a serene retreat with three closets, space for a sitting area, and a newly renovated spa-like bathroom complete with an oversized shower, bidet toilet, marble-topped double vanity, and backlit LED defogging mirrors. Located between the two bedrooms, the full laundry room offers side-by-side machines and extra storage completes the upper level. The lower level brings even more flexibility with stylish new LVP flooring, a vintage built-in bar area, additional living space, half bath, ample storage, and a utility room with a laundry tub. Upgraded systems include a newer hot water heater, boiler, a replaced main water line and updated insulation meeting modern energy efficiency and code requirements.
