262 18th Street

Welcome to 262 18th Street, two family, four story luxury townhouse you have been waiting for! Built brand new from the ground up in 2016, this mint condition home has only had one owner and has been meticulously maintained, with multiple upgrades since then. The home is comprised of four bed, three and a half bath owner’s triplex with a roof deck and a large backyard over a separate one and half bed, one bath garden apartment for a healthy rental income.


Entering up the stoop, the first thing one is struck by is the open floorplan, and the sheer depth of the home (53 ft). The open floorplan and attractive floating staircase create a light and airy feel, further accentuated by the oversized front windows. There is plenty of room for a spacious living room set up, as well as dining for eight, and the space under the stairs provides the perfect nook for your breakfront, or a reading nook.

Past the dining room is a large closet and a powder room tucked away before reaching the kitchen. Truly a chef’s dream, the kitchen features an eight burner, double oven Wolf Range, with a fully vented hood, an oversized Sub Zero Panel Front Refrigerator, a Whirlpool Dishwasher and three large pantries plus upper and lower cabinets for storage galore. A window and the door leading to the backyard wash the space in light and a breakfast bar that accommodates three is the perfect place to entertain while cooking.

The custom cabinets are an attractive walnut, and are complimented perfectly by simple and clean white backsplash and counters.

Outside, one will appreciate the true oasis that is the backyard. The space was professionally landscaped by Amber Frieda Designs in 2020 and features a custom pergola and deck, landscape lighting on a timer system, an irrigation system and dozens of plantings including two Japanese Maples, Hydrangeas, Arborvitaes, Lavender, Rosemary, and more!

There is also a patio providing ample space to grill and dine al fresco, and a shed for storage. An additional lower patio connects to the garden rental, offering outdoor space for both yourself and your tenant!

Upstairs are two well sized bedrooms, each with large closets and their own en suite bathrooms featuring a shower tub combo, Duravit toilets, and large vanities with medicine cabinets for plenty of storage. There is also a full laundry room on this floor with a vented/gas Whirlpool W/D and a smart, built in drying rack.

On the top floor is the king sized master suite, with two well sized closets with California Closet Systems and a spacious en suite bathroom featuring a double sink vanity and two medicine cabinets to ensure you have a place for everything. There is also a large glass door stall shower with a rain shower, wall showerhead and handheld shower. Across from the master is perhaps my favorite room in the house where a wall of windows and double sliding opens up the the private roof deck retreat beyond!

This room is currently being used as a home office and gym space, but would also make a lovely den, or could be used as a fourth bedroom. The home features attractive hardwoods throughout, as well as central A/C in the upper triplex as well as heat zoned by floor. There is also new ductless A/C in the rental, installed in 2024.

In addition, the roof was completely redone in 2021, and the hot water is a Noritz tankless hot water on demand system to ensure you never run out of hot water!

On the garden level, the fully separate rental unit was finished with just as much care. The open concept floorplan offers plenty of space for living room and dining, and the kitchen features the same custom cabinets and clean white counters and backsplash, with a suite of stainless steel appliances, including a 6 burner range, and a double freezer drawer refrigerator dishwasher and built in microwave. .. as the one upstairs. There is a spacious bedroom in the back that walks of to the lower patio beyond, as well as an interior bonus room to use as you please!
