*** 10-YEAR TAX ABATEMENT APP PENDING *** When your rooftop deck has the best unobstructed views of the city skyline, the value and memorable experiences gained are priceless. Unlike the plainness of some new construction homes, this careful design charms you with an exposed two-story brick wall, high ceilings on every floor and a layout that maximizes each one of its parts. Don't settle for a partial, or compromised, skyline view. This unique home has a clear view of center city without obstruction from its own staircase, the neighbors' roofs, or other structures or trees. In terms of layout, do you wonder why some homes have a powder room right next to the kitchen or dining area? Well, the designers of this home made sure to tuck the main floor's powder room away in a tiled mud area at the back of the house, separate from the main living space. On the second floor, a unique side hallway design draws in natural light and gives the floor's two bedrooms ultimate privacy. The oversized primary suite is located on the third floor with ceilings over 10-ft high and a generous full bath. In homes with rooftop decks, one known challenge is that staircases can be very destructive to the rooftop's size and views. This home solves for this with a custom interior spiral stair that minimizes the footprint on the rooftop, allowing you to enjoy all of the beauty that the city skies have to offer. Rest assured that the rooftop deck has both water and gas lines ready for your usage! Because the original two-story home has been completely redone, with the addition of a third floor, 1936 Reed brings the best combination of a new home with a tested solid build. A few critical features that some notice, but everyone appreciates, are things like the range hood being vented to the outside, a basement with full-height ceilings and the ultimate protection with a French drain and sump pump. Needless to say, the wide and deep lot dimensions are key to the generosity of this home's floor plans, rooms, and its ability to have critical features like a main-floor powder room located in the rear. Like other quality construction, this home has two HVAC units for efficient cooling and heating all year round. Enjoy the unobstructed city skyline views, charm of exposed brick, and a layout like no other.
