About This Home

As of December 2012

Heritage Hill Historic District: Rich with character this all brick home has been updated with style and fine quality workmanship. The well proportioned rooms flow together nicely in a functional, modern layout. The Italian tile of the fireplace serves as the focal point for the large living room with mahogany woodwork embellished with Corinthian capitals. The new kitchen features granite counters, high end appliances and a casual eating area. The formal dining room is wonderful for entertaining measuring 13x25 with lots of windows facing the well landscaped yard. The three bedrooms each have a private full bath and the master opens up to a secluded outdoor sitting area. Unique to this home is a detached studio office space with heat and air, plus covered parking for 3 cars accessibl e from the back alley. Well located just a few blocks to downtown and the Medical Mile, Heritage Hill was recognized in 2011 by This Old House magazine as one of the Best Neighborhoods in the U.S.
