31 Browning Avenue

With one practical foot in the present and the other charmed by the past, Thirty One Browning is a calm family respite in our busy city. Tall casings and baseboards, original stained glass protected by thermal pane, radiant heating and central air conditioning, wainscoting, oak rails, newel and hardwood flooring, original and updated decor fireplaces, high ceilings with pot lights and crown moldings, this home blurs the lines between heritage and functionality.

Consider a nanny suite or income unit in the fully finished basement with its separate entrance, high ceilings and full bathroom. Or leave it as a recreation room for the family. The main floor powder room is tucked away from a rather grand Parisian-inspired kitchen.  The family bathroom is bright, massive and luxurious, bookended by a dressing room and the rear bedroom. The rear bedroom’s separate sunroom has a wonderful view of the yard and with its southern exposure, lives up to its name.  The front master has a lovely bay window and original millwork fireplace (non-functioning). Walk through a closet to the dressing room, which could become an en suite, or even laundry room.

The third floor contains a private bedroom and another den, bedroom or family room. Or imagine a grand master retreat extended over the balance of the second story. Versatile and flexible space with room to grow.

A deep private yard for the kids to play and the parents to watch from under the covered pergola.
