About This Home
As of February 2026Situated on a corner lot in the coveted South of Grand neighborhood, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom home has been thoughtfully updated while honoring its historic character. Every detail has received careful attention, delivering the modern improvements buyers desire without sacrificing timeless charm. Extensive enhancements include tuckpointing, window re-glazing, and fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Original character is beautifully preserved through marble finishes, hardwood floors, custom leaded glass doors, wall sconces, and solid brass fixtures. The chef’s kitchen features a 42” La Cornue French range, Bosch and GE Café appliances, Kohler sanitaryware, and Café shutters. Additional highlights include built-in bedroom cabinetry, custom closets, and a bedroom vanity table. The finished lower level expands the living space with a family room, guest area, and a newly added three-quarter bathroom. Updated mechanics include new AC + heat pump. Roof was replaced in 2018. Outdoor spaces offer both privacy and versatility, with a fenced backyard ideal for entertaining and a welcoming front porch with seating and a privacy wall. Abundant natural light fills the home throughout. A comprehensive list of improvements is available upon request, reflecting the care invested in every level—from the attic to the lower level, and from the interior to the exterior.
