This home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt. Behind the original double-hung windows and hardwood floors: all-new plumbing, new electrical, and a forced-air furnace. Vintage soul, none of the 3-a.m. surprises. At 901 square feet, your light-filled upstairs home lives large. New kitchen with stone counters and room to actually cook. Fresh bathroom. Original built-in cabinetry in the formal dining room. A bedroom with a fireplace, built-ins, and a walk-in closet — plus a separate den for the home office or the reading nook.
