Located on a tree-lined street, just steps from the Sedgwick train station, you'll discover this hidden gem. Upon arrival at 229 E. Mount Pleasant, a large front yard and a beautiful, spacious porch welcome you—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. This extra-large twin home brims with original character and space. Inside, you'll find original hardwood flooring, crown molding, bay windows, and high ceilings. The living room is generously sized, filled with natural light, and includes one of the two fireplaces. The dining room is equally charming, featuring coffered ceilings. The large kitchen, with white cabinets, ample counter space, and room for a kitchen table, leads to the mudroom, where you'll find the laundry area and a convenient half bath. The real wow factor is the spacious backyard with a deck.
Upstairs, the second and third floors each offer three large bedrooms with large windows, carpeting, and abundant natural light. The front bedroom on the second floor features the second fireplace. The second-floor bathroom retains its original detailing and includes a linen closet and a classic tub. The third-floor bathroom is spacious and has a shower. The basement, with good ceiling height, provides excellent storage options.
The home has a brand-new roof with a 10-year transferable warranty. A new boiler was installed in 2023. While it needs some TLC and is priced accordingly, the home's charm and beauty are evident, just waiting for personal touches. The location is fantastic—close to the train station and just a few blocks from Germantown Ave. and the shops and restaurants that come with it. The home is being sold as-is.
