419 East 4th Street

Showing By Appointment. Perfectly renovated from top to bottom! This two-family, 20 foot wide x 64 foot deep fully detached house with parking is absolutely gorgeous. And its huge: more than 4400 sq. ft. spread over four floors. Its essentially two-houses-in-one. The lower unit has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, the largest rec. room youve ever seen (big enough to learn how to ride a bike) and a huge back-yard. The upper unit also has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and an extremely charming attic with nine dormers. The living/dining/kitchen space is 20 feet wide with eleven windows on three exposures looking over Ginko trees. Its an exceptional, unique space with superb light. Each unit has its own entrance and stoop. Either apartment would provide rental income of approximately $5000/month (covering approx. $1M of the mortgage). It could also be easily converted to a one-family house. Thinking of this as an investment? 4% CAP rate for a house that will be sound for decades.The boutique developer has an excellent track record of several beautiful homes in Kensington that have performed very well post-sale. This is not a fly-by-night developer - he and his family live in the neighborhood (only a few blocks away) and are not only neighbors but friends with folks theyve sold houses to. With an eye for detail, the developer has created a visually stunning home, but also spared no expense on the invisible things within the house. No half-measure mechanical updates here: the plumbing, electrical, structural and heating and cooling systems are entirely new, done by highly reputable contractors. Central heating and cooling to the four floors are provided by four high-efficiency central furnaces with chillers powered by Nest thermostats. The house has been fully insulated to save money and energy with state-of-the-art air and vapour barriers. The roof, energy-star windows and doors are all new. The siding of the house is HardiPlank, a high-end cement-board that looks like old-style clapboard but will last for decades, requiring no maintenance. Sound insulation was installed between the two units with double sheetrock suspended on isolation clips to further reduce sound transfer. Thoroughly renovated houses of this quality rarely come on the market. (Dont be fooled by houses that look updated but have ancient mechanicals or have had poor work done.) Other luxurious new additions to the house include Carrara kitchen counters, herringbone tile backsplash, marble bathrooms, gorgeous brass and glass light fixtures, built-in closets, new rift and quarter-sawn white oak flooring, all designed with great style. Appliances are Bosch, Fisher Paykel, and Bertazzoni. Each unit has washer/dryer already installed. Renovations of this quality are not often available. Make this house yours. Park in your own driveway. Bask in the light from so many windows. Rest assured your house is well built. The house has easy access to many restaurants/bars/shops in Kensington and Windsor Terrace. Close to Carnival, Brancaccios, Hamiltons, Sawasde Thai, Church Bar, Steeplechase Coffee, Der Pioneer, Hinterlands, Gilded Grape, Werkstatt, Hunger Pang, Lark, Wheated, and more. A quick bike ride to the Parade Grounds (soccer, baseball), Tennis Center, and Prospect Park. Convenient to the F/G trains (Church Ave)
