Welcome to 721 S. 3rd Street—a beautifully updated Queen Village home in the highly sought-after Meredith catchment. This townhome offers the perfect blend of original character, comfort, and move-in-ready convenience. The main level immediately impresses with an arched doorway, exposed brick, high ceilings, and hardwood flooring. The open kitchen was thoughtfully refreshed a few years ago with updated flooring, LG stainless steel appliances, and modern flat-front wood cabinetry. A sliding patio door leads to a private outdoor patio, ideal for entertaining or low-maintenance urban gardening. A charming powder room is tucked at the top of the basement stairs, offering both convenience and privacy, and features exposed brick, open shelving, and an eye-catching silver tile accent wall. The second floor houses the primary suite, which is both functional and inviting, with west-facing sunlight. It features a customized walk-through closet with two 72-inch Robern medicine cabinets, as well as a brand-new European-style bathroom complete with white hexagon tile flooring, subway tile, and a clawfoot soaking tub. This level also includes an additional bedroom and a fully renovated laundry area with a new LG washer and dryer, a butcher block folding countertop, and abundant storage. Upstairs, the third floor offers exceptional flexibility, featuring another spacious and bright bedroom with a dormer window, a full bath with a pedestal sink, and a dedicated hallway nook—perfect for today’s work-from-home lifestyle. Capping it all off is a sun-drenched rooftop deck, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The basement offers good ceiling height and provides space for more than just storage. For peace of mind, both the water heater and HVAC system have been replaced within the past year, and a mini-split system was added to the third floor for additional comfort during the hot summer months. For those nights when cooking feels like a chore, there’s no shortage of amazing restaurants nearby, including Cry Baby Pasta, Southwark, Famous 4th Street Deli, and Bridget Foy’s, just to name a few. Queen Village is also a treasure trove of small, local businesses—from bike shops to coffee shops to vintage housewares. Homes in this location and condition rarely become available—don’t miss your opportunity to see it before it’s gone!
