Traditional

On one of the nicest blocks of Cobbs Creek, this rowhome has been updated where it counts while leaving plenty of charm intact. In the living room, the fresh white paint on the walls, coffered ceiling and original turned staircase make the leaded glass window and contemporary gas fireplace with cement tile surround blend perfectly together. The classic rowhome layout has been opened up, yet an extra-wide doorway with original dentil trim subtly separating the living and dining rooms was preserved, as was a sweet under-stair closet with original door. Oversized windows, including a floor-to-ceiling one in the dining room, flood the entire floor with natural light. The rear kitchen has freshly painted cabinets, handsome granite countertops with stainless steel undermount sink and stainless steel Whirlpool appliances including a five-burner range and French door fridge. A mudroom with extra storage space opens to the nicely sized rear yard. The finished basement with wood grain tile runs the full length of the house, offering two different hang zones separated by a powder room, a large mechanical closet, plus room left for storage. The second floor has gorgeous freshly refinished narrow-plank oak floors throughout the three bedrooms and hallway. The primary bedroom has a lovely bay window, the rear bedroom has two exposures including a charming window bench seat flanked by closets, and the middle true bedroom gets nice eastern light. Ornate radiators give each room an extra touch of charm. The oh-so-fresh-and-clean hall bathroom has a functional skylight and a new contemporary vanity, mirror and all black hardware. This tree-lined street, one of the loveliest stretches of already lovely Larchwood Ave, is in the heart of Cobbs Creek and is convenient to greenspace, shopping and public transit.
