Welcome to this tastefully renovated, light-filled Craftsman jewel box in the heart of Murray Hill. Built as a classic four-square, the home now features an open floor plan with loads of natural light throughout and a stunning gourmet kitchen at the heart of it all. There is ample seating at a marble-topped kitchen island and natural flow into dining and living areas, making the home ideal for entertaining family and friends. Cooks will appreciate all new stainless-steel appliances, high-end cabinetry, ample shelving and storage, and subway-tiled back-splash. Other attractive features include first-floor laundry room, original heart-of pine floors, upgraded lighting fixtures, custom plantation shutters, ample wall space for art, and a charming front porch - the perfect spot to chat with neighbors and enjoy season changes. Three finished levels include four bedrooms (one with custom built-ins), a full bath, a sitting area, and a home office. The private backyard with patio provides space for gardening and dining el fresco. The full unfinished basement provides loads of storage space. Additional home improvements since 2018 include new roof and gutters, stucco siding and exterior paint, and HVAC system. Ideally located, this home is just a few blocks from Lafayette Waterfront Park - a popular destination and site of many Murray Hill Residents Association (MHRA) gatherings - and around the corner from restaurants and shopping venues on West Street. Don't miss this beautifully updated, cheerful, welcoming Murray Hill home!
