198 Devoe Street

Designers Dream! Stunning Semi-Detached 2-Family home on one of the best blocks in the neighborhood, Devoe St. This beautiful home was fully rebuilt from the ground up just over 20 years ago, leaving you with the luxury of doing custom cosmetic renovations to your taste without having to upgrade any major systems. Currently configured as a 3.5 bedroom/1.5 bath duplex on the first floor into the fully finished basement and a spacious 2 bedroom/1 bath unit on the top floor, this home is perfectly situated to allow for plenty of room to live and grow in the owner's duplex while still getting rental income upstairs, or it can easily be reconfigured into a massive designer 1-family home if you're craving even more space. Thanks to being semi-detached you aren't restricted in your layouts by having windows only in the front and back of the house, you benefit from extra windows on your southwest exposure giving you extra light to your middle rooms on all three levels. The open southern exposure yard is flooded with sunlight all day, and with three means of accessing the yard from either the basement, the first floor or directly from the front using the alleyway you're not restricted in what unit can use it or how access to the yard can be granted. Planning to have a COVID safe get-together? Guests can enter directly through the alleyway to the yard and not have to enter into your house. The alleyway also allows for private bicycle/motorcycle storage without having to leave either on the street or attached to your front gate. The upgrades did not stop when this house was completely rebuilt, the current owners are always improving when they can including a brand new concrete slab and all new window wells in the yard (providing even more light to downstairs) and having the roof redone all in the last year, new sidewalk in the front of the house just two years ago, newly replaced water heater and much more. Comfortably sized 20 x 80 lot with additional FAR remaining, check with your architect to see if you can add even more space if desired. This quality of home is a rarity in this neighborhood, although it's perfectly move in ready it's a magnificent blank canvas ready for your personal touch.
