About This Home
As of February 2025Located on one of Shaw's most beautiful blocks, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath rowhome (2020) offers over 2,000 sq ft of elegant living across two levels.
Step inside to find open living spaces, featuring custom built-ins, crown molding, and coffered ceilings. The spacious living and dining areas are perfect for entertaining, while the large gourmet kitchen impresses with marble and quartz finishes, high-end Thermador appliances, and an abundance of storage. Beyond the kitchen, a versatile fourth space with bespoke custom cabinetry opens to a private patio—complete with two PARKING spaces—offering the perfect spot for outdoor living and relaxation.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, with three large closets and a spa-like marble bath, complete with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a glass shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a rear deck complete the upper floor, providing ample room for family or guests.
Nestled on a street lined with lovingly maintained historic homes, this home offers the best of both worlds—peaceful residential living just a block from the grocery store and only steps away from Shaw's vibrant dining, cafes, and entertainment scene.
