Updated in Trinidad

Spreading out at over 2,500 square feet, this Trinidad rowhouse is more spacious than its exterior suggests. Past the leaded glass front door, a partial wall provides separation from the living room, where a gas fireplace is sandwiched between a pair of built-ins above cabinets. Columns anchor the double-wide doorway to the adjacent formal dining room. The kitchen beyond has modern teak wood cabinetry, stainless steel countertops with an integrated cooktop beneath a commercial-style hood. A laundry room/mudroom leads out to a deep, bi-level paved patio and the detached garage at the back of the lot. The house also has a spacious tiled in-law suite with a separate entrance, kitchenette, bedroom and full bath.
