PROS This 1900 row house, thoughtfully renovated in 2018—updating the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems while preserving details like the hardwood floor inlays—sits on a quiet street a block from Union Square. Left of the entry hall is a living room with deep blue walls and bay windows. The dining room has a bold geometric accent wall, while the sunny, south-facing kitchen has quartz counters, vented stove, and butcher-block island. There’s a stylish powder room nearby, and a hexagon pattern painted on the wood floors near the back deck echoes the tile backsplash. Upstairs, three bedrooms, one with a dressing room, share an updated bath and a graceful laundry alcove with skylight and exposed brick. CONS An offer has been accepted.
