Perfection! This 1946 Alfonso Alvarez classic brick has been lovingly renovated for today's living. The midcentury open floor plan has been enhanced with sensitive renovations. Bold new windows light the interior while leaving the texture & dimension of the exterior undisturbed. The dramatic front door is enhanced with natural wood trim. Then step into an ample front entryway with a power room, guest closet & basement stairs. The wall of windows & French doors is a welcoming invitation to the front to back living room w/ fpl & adjacent dining room. The open floor plan then leads to a recently renovated cook's kitchen with marble countertops & stainless steel appliances. Tucked away off the kitchen is a library/office or guest room. . A custom designer chrome & oak stairway leads to the 2nd fl. The large, bright primary suite has ample closet space & luxurious new bath with walk-in shower & soaking tub. A hallway separates the 2 additional corner bedrooms & new bath. The basement has been recently finished to incorporate a gym, play area, powder room & storage.
