Trinity Tuesday: What’s Behind This Green Door in Queen Village?

Walk a block and half south from South and S American Streets and you’ll find a gate breaking a tight line of row homes. What lies beyond it? Take a look at the gallery and you’ll see that although the homes do have back yard enclosures, the path beyond the gate does not lead to them, but to a private courtyard facing a mini collection of houses instead.

One of these, an end trinity home with a green (chartreuse?) door, is on the market. Here’s what lies behind that door:

• Living room with wood-burning fireplace — Ooh, always a cozy feature to have in compact spaces like a trinity house, don’t you think?
• Glass-enclosed sunroom extension facing back patio — An extra sunny space? Great, especially since it doesn’t necessarily compromise the whole “small tall house” charm of the home!
• Lower-level eat-in kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, separate dining room space, storage area, and washer & dryer — Modern, convenient, and we appreciate the bonus space here too.
• Upper floors have one bedroom reach, the second of which also has cathedral ceilings. — Sounds like a dormer room. Want.

Newer windows, one full bathroom with granite counters, and a half bath on the third level are also included. Also, the property  is within the vaunted Meredith School catchment, so that’s a plus. We suggest you see it in person this weekend, deets below.
