Discover a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city at this gracious two-bedroom, 1-½ bath home in the renowned Tilden Gardens. With no shared walls and tranquil views of mature trees, this home delivers rare privacy and a single-family feel in a vibrant urban setting.



Step through a formal foyer with ante-foyer and into the sunlit living room, where the arched entryway, built-in bookcases, and a decorative fireplace with tiled surround set a warm, elegant tone. Banks of windows frame lush garden views, shared by the adjacent formal dining room with its vintage glass-fronted display cabinet.



The updated, windowed kitchen features granite counters, crisp white cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, a charming backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances—including a gas range.

In the private wing, two spacious bedrooms overlook the sunken gardens and feature oak hardwood floors and ample closet space. The primary suite includes a half-bath, while a ceramic tile full bathroom serves the second bedroom.



Period details are everywhere: nine-foot ceilings, original 6-over-6 windows, plaster walls, six-panel doors with glass knobs, brass hardware, and mortise locksets—a true pre-war treasure.
