Price reduced! Just cross the bridge from Mt. Vernon to discover Johnston Square only one block away. This "next hot neighborhood" has arrived. Over the last three years, the area has undergone dramatic improvements and more developments are underway. If you have not been here for a while, you will be amazed. There is a new Pratt library and many new and restored residential buildings. 420 E. Biddle is an opportunity to purchase a beautifully restored townhouse unlike any other at a price you won't find elsewhere. This complete luxury renovation was designed and built for the owner to be his ultimate dream home. This is not a typical commercial flip. Its many quality features include red oak floors and tall ceilings throughout the house. Many original features, like its striking staircase were retained and enhanced with period designs. It features custom millwork and some antique chandeliers and light fixtures. There are several antique mantles and some exposed brick walls. While the home is open and airy, it has a classic but flexible floor plan. It offers an elegant yet cozy formal dining room. The primary suite occupies the second floor. It includes a large designer bath with a soaking tub, a spacious shower, and an oversized custom vanity. The floor and shower tiles are marble. This bathroom is very bright with its many windows. The laundry is conveniently located in this area. The primary suite also features a bonus space which is currently used as a sitting room or den. It could also be used for many other purposes such as a dressing room or an office. The top floor is the guest suite. Its layout mirrors the primary area. Its bonus room could be used as a third bedroom. The third floor bathroom is also spacious and features a soaking tub and walk in shower. This area has a separate heating and air conditioning system. The bright and spacious kitchen is out of a dream. It features custom cabinets - some with glass doors - and granite counter tops. The appliances are top quality stainless steel with gas cooking. The leaded glass entrance leads to a private fenced back yard. The large finished basement is tall and dry. This home and its community has a lot to offer for the price.
