magine an elegant romantic town house on a quiet tree-lined street, seemingly removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close enough for a stroll to Broadway shops and restaurants. A paradox? Not if you live at 3425 Tibbett Ave. This traditional semi-attached three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home couldn’t be more secluded — or more convenient. And it has been lovingly renovated and updated with a Tuscan theme. The gourmet kitchen boasts of stone tile floors and backsplashes along with granite countertops, not to mention top-of-the-line Viking appliances, custom cabinetry and direct access to an outdoor deck. The sunken living room features a stonefronted wood burning fireplace, French doors
The skylit hallway is never at a loss for light.
and an archway to an elegant formal dining room flooded with light from three exposures. All of the hardwood floors are freshly refinished and great care went into choosing unique light fixtures for every room — even the renovated bathrooms. All three bedrooms on the second floor have been redone, including a master bedroom with en-suite bath and commodious closets. On the lower floor, recessed lighting sets the mood for a fully finished family room with a flat screen TV and room left over for a laundry room and ample storage. A separate, attached garage is in the rear yard. According to exclusive broker Joan Kuzniar of Robert E. Hill, the home is offered for $639,000.
