The property also offers the opportunity for a future single-family conversion. The upper duplex has been thoughtfully transformed in 2026 with sophisticated finishes and custom details throughout. New bay windows overlook tree-lined Willow Street, while the home's generous interior width creates an unusually spacious feel. New 5-inch white oak floors anchor the main level. The beautifully designed kitchen features custom oak cabinetry with a sage-green island, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, a marble backsplash, premium Sub-Zero and GE Monogram appliances, a spacious pantry closet, an adjoining dining room, and a coordinating dry bar with a wine fridge. A charming powder room features marble floors and a custom quartzite vanity. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and white oak floors enhance three bedrooms, two full baths, and a versatile loft ideal for a home office or sitting area. The gorgeous primary bath features limestone tile, Kohler Castia plumbing fixtures, a dual vanity, built-in cabinetry, and a skylight. Custom closet interiors throughout and a conveniently located upper-level laundry closet. A new wrought iron bridge connects the owner's residence to an impressive 20-by-18-foot garage rooftop deck with Trex decking and cedar privacy fencing-an inviting retreat for outdoor dining and entertaining. The first-floor unit features 2 beds 1 bath, a renovated kitchen and bath with classic finishes, along with updated lighting, and newly refinished floors and paint. Estimated rental income of $4,000-$4,500 per month adds meaningful value, with additional potential for short-term rental use subject to applicable licensing and approvals.
