Set on a quiet one-way street just a few blocks to vibrant and fun Union Square, this totally charming single-family home is an uncommon find! This home merges clean, contemporary design with Victorian detail and sophistication. The main level - renovated in 2017 - blends modern functionality with the rustic warmth of wide-plank floors, a wood-burning stove, and custom open cabinetry. The eat-in kitchen is a natural gathering space for both entertaining and cooking, with ample seating, large work surfaces, and a butcher block island. The second floor offers two bedrooms and an office or nursery, and the second floor deck has a verdant canopy of wisteria, creating a beautiful urban oasis. The third floor has two more rooms for maximum flexibility. EV charging, a full unfinished basement, fully fenced back patio and yard, and a two-level storage barn/workshop complete this special offering!
