This completely renovated 1 bedroom/1 bathroom unit has the perfect bones for professional(s) needing both a resident and a formal office space either for in-person or remote access. With traditional/historical details thoughtfully blended with modern materials and skillful restoration this unit delivers a bespoke residence. Upon entering the private entry through the shared secured foyer one is welcomed by the original carrara marble fireplace and mantel crested by the century old ornately framed mirror above. With it's high tray ceiling and 16.5' x 15', open floor footprint, this spacious area could be used as a great room or a formal office space. The large windows and crafted trim details compliment the size and scale of the space. The vinyl plank flooring offers a durable and easily maintained solution which is flexible enough to provide the background to however you choose to use this space. Leaving the great room one enters the long wide gallery which is seamlessly tied to the great room through the flooring and similarly applied trim details. This 20' long and 5' wide gallery can serve many functions beyond acting as a connector between the formal front room and distinctly residential areas found via the gallery. With its width the gallery can easily function to hold additional furniture such as armoires, dressers, trunks, file cabinets or even desks. Midway through the gallery lies the entrance to the bedroom. Passing through the bedroom door one is greeted by a detailed carrara marble fireplace with a large picture area above the mantel. This 18' x 10' bedroom has room for a king size bed flanked with night stands. The layout provides for a potential dedicated seating area adjacent to the ample closet with built-in shelving storage and several hanging bars. In anticipation of the versatility of the front room, the walls surrounding the bedroom are all insulated for sound dampening and increased privacy. Also of note, the entire unit is insulated at both the ceiling and floor from the other units in the building. Exiting through the far end of the gallery one arrives at the kitchen area, which is distinguished by the mahogany flooring defining the kitchen zone. Moving pass the gallery one encounters the elevated mahogany eating bar with seating for 3 and pendent task lighting above. The abundance of custom cabinets provide ample kitchen and general storage space. From the built-in cabinets enveloping the refrigerator to the self closing drawers to the deep upper cabinets, the kitchen maximizes the cabinetry and utility for the given space. The base cabinets are topped with epoxy coated stained concrete counters which provide a stylish look and durable safe clean working surface. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and water features which include a deep sink, modern dual -head faucet and dishwasher. Behind the seating of the eating bar and across the pathway is the door to the bathroom. The custom floating vanity and concrete counter share the kitchen design. A smaller version of the deep stainless steel kitchen sink, a pull-out highly versatile stainless steel faucet, tiled backslash, mirror and modern task lighting complete the vanity work zone. Above the toilet hangs a built-in cabinet with a lower dedicated fixed space and adjustable shelves above for storage or towels. The bathroom floor tiles are repeated as a defining element in the tub-sized walk-in shower. The shower features a shower head and wand and an in-wall niche. Within the bathroom is the door to the laundry area housing the full sized side-by-side washer/dryer combo with a built-in storage unit above. The open floor plan guides you from the mahogany floor kitchen zone into the carpeted cozy den. The den area has two large windows for ample natural light and is spacious enough for a complete furniture ensemble. The contiguous area connecting the kitchen and den lead to a mudroom area which employs the more durable vinyl plank tiles found in the front room and gallery. In this mudroom area is a versatile storage closet and a door leading to the rear yard. Through the rear door is an elevated landing which leads to the backyard where you will be entreated to mature evergreen shrubs, flowering bulbs, a variety of perennials and a seasonal explosion of color. The rear yard is enclosed with paneled fencing offering both security and privacy. The various terraced areas are constructed and connected with salvaged stacked bluestone, textured concrete retaining wall blocks, concrete paver paths, loose stone landings, brownstone steps, recycled bricks walkways, and bluestone slabs from the original basement floor. Edged with boxwoods, arborvitae and rose of sharon bushes and fronted by a stone stacked retaining wall, the large brick and bluestone patio contains an inset fire pit. The primary dedicated garden area has continuous seasonal color from the daffodils, irises, peonies, lillies, gladioli, and sedum to name a few. Surrounding the lower level lawn are raised beds which include lambs ear, primrose, bleeding heart, and liatris, not to mention the multiple species hosta shade bed. From the formality of the front entry room to the comfortable confines of the kitchen/den to the convenience of the walk-in shower and laundry to the tranquility and functionality of the rear yard offerings this unit is for those who value a curated living experience.
