McGolrick Park. This charming residence blends historic character with thoughtful updates and offers flexibility for both comfortable owner occupancy and rental income.
Owner’s Duplex – A Private Urban Oasis
The spacious owner’s duplex spans the garden and parlor levels and can be accessed through a gracious parlor-floor entrance or a private entry beneath the stoop. The garden level features an inviting open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kichen, there is a door leading out to a truly enchanting rear garden, complete with mature plantings, a tranquil bubbling pond, and ample space for lounging or al fresco dining-a rare retreat in the city. This level also includes a full bathroom and a convenient pantry off the kitchen, along with a discreetly located mechanical and storage room at the rear of the home. Upstairs, the parlor level is bathed in natural light and offers a bright, versatile front room that currently serves as an inspiring art studio or could function as a cozy sitting room. The primary bedroom is serene and spacious, while a lofted second bedroom offers additional flexibility. A second full bathroom completes this level, enhancing the convenience and functionality of the home.
Top-Floor Rental – Turnkey Income Opportunity
The top floor houses a well-appointed one-bedroom rental unit that is consistently income-producing. With a thoughtful layout, it appeals to long-term tenants or can be used as an in-law suite or guest quarters, offering additional lifestyle or investment flexibility.
