Circa 1875 and reborn from the hands of a true master craftsman, this rare and remarkable two-family surpasses every superlative. Retained and restored period details are just the beginning of a sun-filled historic home that promises a rare worry-free / white-glove experience. Over the last 10 years, one of the area's most renowned restoration contractors painstakingly updated, upgraded, and restored every surface and system. From rebuilding the front door to perfectly match the original and removing and restoring the historic windows, to updated electrical, plumbing, super-efficient heat, and much more. Each of these townhouse-style units offers a unique living experience. Unit 1 occupies the ground level and front half of the second floor. This is a grand unit with a formal, yet approachable feel. The kitchen is the centerpiece and offers what any inspiring chef might want/need. With 10' ceilings and rooms that are open to each other, there is a definition of space but also an open, airy, and illuminated feel. This unit offers 2 expansive bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2nd-floor laundry, office, mudroom, and access to the private patio and fenced yard. Unit 2 occupies the rear half of the second floor and the entire 3rd floor. This unit is modern and minimalist with clean lines and great spaces to work from home or gather with friends. Just off the kitchen is a rear deck that promises to be the perfect spot for a morning coffee, or an afternoon unwind. As you exit, you see the paver patio and drive, the custom wrought-iron fence, and siding and trim that are in better than new condition and can't help but appreciate this remarkable home in a desirable West End location... 1 block from Waynflete, just outside the Art's District and walkable to a host of restaurants, shops, and boutiques... Conversion to condos or a single-family would be easy.
