This is ok, but it’s a basement, the 3d bedroom is tiny and also the laundry area, so is more a den/nursery than a proper bedroom, the primary bedroom is also the access to the parking, and has a clear galss door to the outside.
What’s with the (imo) 50’s era round HVAC vents?
Is “culinary haven” the new “Chefs Kitchen”. Props to the AI bot that came up with that
I have to LOL at the ask. Garden leve patio access thru the Mbr,
Wonderful location and garden, but it’s a very expensive basement. For sale in 2016, 2020 and 2024 — I don’t think residents have been happy living here.
“ Garden level patio access thru the Mbr,”
The listing didn’t even include a photo of the large back patio — it must be useless.
The front patio off the foyer does look pleasant, however.
“The listing didn’t even include a photo of the large back patio”
I guess it is larger than the 3d bedroom, but I don’t think of that as large.
You see enough of it through the back door. It’s not a “patio” so much as it is a protected (by the decks above) entryway.
Wonder how well it drains.
I’d be a bit sad walking past all the mansions on the block knowing that soon I will be descending into my damp basement-crib.

Was it Gourmet Kitchen and then Chef’s Kitchen or vice-versa?

I wonder where it drains
Nice place but at the end of the day, it is still a basement. Hard pass. Much better options imho for $625k.
I’d be really scared about flooding too.
Is anyone else no longer able to see the sales history in Redfin? I first noticed this yesterday?
“no longer able to see the sales history in Redfin”
Was missing earlier, now it’s back.
speaking of…the prior listing has another back patio pic, looking out to the stairs. Pretty dire, IMO.
$600,000 to live in a basement? Hard pass, though this is a beautiful block. I’d be interested in the upstairs units.
