The history

The house was built in 1931. About four years ago, the person who owned it at the time gutted the place and renovated it, adding hardwood floors, a central vacuum, and Caesarstone countertops in all the kitchens. In 2015, realtor Andrea Kalmar bought the building.

Major perk

A 180-square-foot balcony framed in exposed brick offers plenty of room for patio furniture and cookout equipment:

Possible deal breaker

There’s no elevator, meaning tenants will have to lug groceries up a few flights of stairs.
