This grande dame awaits clever reinvention! Endlessly promising with layers both hidden and revealed. On the surface this property shouts single family home, though it shows as "duplex" on public record. With a second kitchen upstairs it was co-shared by family as two flats for decades. Come and imagine the future: primary suite and additional beds/bath/laundry on the upper floor? On the main level, generous living and dining spaces, with a reconfigured kitchen and office or guest suite? Four fireplaces (maybe five!) and a hidden staircase add to the puzzle-solving. The wide grassy backyard longs for a nice deck to transition from kitchen to outdoors. Basement and single-car garage also offer opportunity: With a few more inches of clearance could this evolve into the "second" unit someday? Ideally situated just a two-block hop to Lakeshore Ave, amble up the road for a coffee or cocktail while the renovation reveals itself.
