2611 Frederick Douglass Blvd. 1A

IN CONTRACT

Directly across from the historical Striver’s Row Townhouses, lies The Bradhurst, 2611 Frederick Douglass Boulevard. Apartment 1A has been gut renovated to reflect the historical beauty that is found in the area while also incorporating the modern conveniences a buyer has come to expect (without being a cookie-cutter newly developed building). The layout of this 1050-square foot duplex is well thought out from top to bottom. Enter into the upper level where you will find an elegant and timeless windowed-kitchen with white subway tiles, custom-made Sheuler cabinetry with Somerset brushed nickel hardware, Caesarstone counters, Fisher Paykel refrigerator, NXR Professional series stove, and a 34-bottle Edgestar wine fridge. There is ample room for seating in the kitchen. Despite being on the first floor there is no lack of bright sunshine pouring in from the west for an amazing afternoon glow throughout. A wall of exposed brick lends to the historical charm of the open and bright living space with Restoration Hardware wall sconces and a Capiz Pendant lamp. Between the kitchen and living room you will find inside a sizable closet a stacked LG washer & dryer and an absolutely perfect windowed powder room with Ann Sachs penny floor tiles and Restoration Hardware fixtures.

Head down the custom made stairs and railing and take note of the purpose-built storage with brass hardware from Aspen. The lower level bedrooms are nicely separated for privacy. The rear bedroom features a very clever redesign of a small hallway that has been transformed into an Elfa system walk-in closet. The western facing bedroom is well proportioned and also includes a large closet, but the piece de resistance is the door leading out to the beautiful and tranquil rear garden patio that – though shared – is almost exclusively used by the owners of 1A. With lush plantings and outdoor seating the garden will be your oasis after a long day where you can enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or dine (or even work) al fresco when the mood strikes you for a little feeling of old world charm. Think the intimate hidden cafes of Athens, Rome, Paris
