Trinity Tuesday: 2BR in Queen Village Includes Superb Shoe Room

Alright, we’re gonna give it to you straight: it could do with an update or two. But like the listing points out, it’s a “diamond in the rough waiting to be polished.” Plus, all that being said, it does have several things going for it and as to its literal surrounds, its anything but rough.

Parked on a leafy block in Queen Village, the home is an expanded trinity, so the living room and kitchen are actually on the same floor. (Contrary to other trinities where the kitchen is on the lower level, which can get pretty old.) The latter has newer appliances and access to a rear patio that’s roomy enough for summer grilling and hosting guests.

Bedroom-wise, you’re in for a treat…especially if you love shoes.

See, while the second floor boasts the master bedroom (complete with walk-in closet and tiled bathroom with spa sink), the third floor had a full-floor open bedroom with exposed brick. At some point, this room was divided into two spaces, one of which, as our sister blog Shoppist noted a little over a month ago, contain’s the home’s crown jewel: a makeshift shoe room.

According to Shoppist, owner Jeannie Corkery lined all three walls of the space with cubbies for her collection. Whenever a new owner comes in, of course, this could easily be converted into an office or another bedroom. You can read the full interview with Corkery here.

Bonus: Since getting the Shoppist treatment in September, the home has gotten a twee $8,000 price cut. Specs and photos below.
