Home Details
A reimagination of an early 1900's Victorian, this home is where architectural legacy meets modern luxury in the heart of Historic Heights. Expanded and elevated in 2014, it sits on an oversized 8,800 SF lot and delivers a layout that lives beautifully- 2 bedrooms down, including a magazine-worthy primary suite, and 2 up, each with its own en-suite bath plus a vaulted flex space. Reclaimed oak floors run through bright, open living areas anchored by a chef’s kitchen equipped with SubZero/Wolf appliances, stone counters, satin nickel pull-down, crane-style faucet, and custom cabinetry. The spa-like primary bath is a stunner where the original clawfoot tub takes center stage. The grounds, masterfully designed by Moss Landscaping, are a botanical work of art with extra parking and space for a future pool.  Rooted in timeless design and surrounded by curated greenery, the home balances historic beauty and everyday functionality. Alley access and very walkable to area shops and restaurants!
