524 Herkimer Street

524 Herkimer Street was originally constructed in 1899. This fully renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details. This framehouse is a two-family home featuring 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a finished cellar, a large parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From mosaic-detailed foyer entrance to a dream chef's kitchen, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home. As you enter the owner’s three-bedroom duplex, you are greeted by an open layout with oversized windows looking out to the serene backyard. Stepping into the 20 feet wide parlor, you realize the breadth of space and tall ceilings that let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the left, a formal living room area offers a great space for entertaining. To the right, a thoughtfully designed powder room. In the back, your dining and open kitchen features a four-seat island, custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops. With a farmhouse sink and a full complement of Thermador appliances including an integrated 36" French door refrigerator, dishwasher, six-burner stove and wine cooler this kitchen is this home's centerpiece. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and two full baths, all bathed with natural sunlight coming through three large skylights. The elegant primary bedroom faces the backyard and is adorned with three windows, two large closets, and ample room for dresser or home office nook. The primary bathroom is finished with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower. In the hall, you will find the washer / dryer closet as well as a tastefully finished second bathroom. Facing the tree-lined street are additional two bedrooms. This home also features a built-in sound system throughout. No detail was spared in this renovation. The private cellar can be accessed through the inner staircase from the living room and is finished with textured tile floors and a powder room. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office, or artist studio. The separate garden floor apartment features two-bedroom and one bathroom and can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment. The garden unit is equipped with a washer / dryer in the unit and shares access to the large backyard. This masterfully re-imagined home is centrally located.
