Welcome to 218 Monroe. This adorable historic home is nestled in the middle of the highly sought after Queen Village neighborhood (Meredith School Catchment). The area is a walker’s paradise; with shops, restaurants, bars, public transportation, and parks all within just a couple of blocks. The home is an expanded trinity, boasting 4 full floors of living space. You enter on the main entertaining floor. Here you have a sitting area with working gas fireplace right next to a versatile workspace that looks out onto a private rear yard and shared courtyard. Downstairs, you get to the updated kitchen and dining space. This area has a rear glass door connecting it to a super cute private backyard, perfect for al fresco dining in your own garden. Moving back into the home, you can ascend the stairs to the second floor. This space has the modern bathroom with walk in shower and the first bedroom. The current owners use this space as their den/tv room, but could easily be a primary bedroom, with a very large closet and a decorative fireplace. Again moving up the stairs, we make it to the top floor, where we have the remaining 2 bedrooms. This sunny space is a perfect place to unwind and escape the noises of the city. The rear bedroom has a beautiful scenic view of the private rear yard and the shared courtyard that is full of plant life in the warmer months. This house is fully modernized with a newer tankless water heater plus central air and heating, which uses a system of mini-splits that can be individually programed for different temperatures. This centrally-located historic oasis could be your next home. Take a look today!
