It may be named
Club Lucky, but
you’re the fortunate one
to have this 1940s-style
supper club and martini
lounge in your neighbor-
hood. If you’re looking for
a casual Italian dining
experience or an award-
winning cocktail,
you’ll find both at
Club Lucky.

This quiet, contemporary single-family home is the end unit among four fee-simple row homes. It is located behind a secure gated entry in the center of the block, surrounded by trees and away from everyday street noise. The home’s biggest selling point is that it is on a 37-foot-wide lot with fantastic outdoor space rarely found in the city. It includes a two-tiered deck with pergola, planters and a built-in bench, as well as an L-shaped garden with a patio and a lawn big enough for a swing set, all surrounded by a professionally landscaped perennial garden.

The house offers classic modern elements, including hardwood floors, glass block and a fireplace. The kitchen has maple cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. There are a total of four bedrooms in a typical configuration with three on the second level and the fourth in the lower level. The fully outfitted master bath has a skylight above and the closet is a large walk-in. The lower level has a rec-reation/media room as well as laundry and storage. There is a roof deck on top and a two-car detached garage.
