About This Home

As of June 2023

Come see one of Cherry Hills' exquisite Victorian Masterpieces! Summer is nearly here and having walkable access to Uptown East Hills, Heritage, Hill, Eastown, the Wealthy Street business District is a must. This home holds on to so much original character of the times but adds modern pizzazz that you would hope for in a newly built home. From the updated kitchen with quartz countertops to the main floor laundry and gorgeous herringbone tile fireplace the updates are incredibly tasteful. The eye-popping main floor half bath could be straight out of Luxe. The extra large owner's bedroom has a large room attached with endless opportunities for a large walk-in closet, office, workout space, nursery, or even an Ensuite.

Never worry about taking an extra trip with the multiple smart home features included such as entry and driveway cameras, floodlights, smoke and carbon monitors, Yale x Nest door lock, and thermostat. Enjoy much of the original character with the 9 foot ceilings, 2 stairwells leading up, the trim detail throughout the entire home, the well-maintained wood floors, original pocket door, and so much more that has lasted the test of time. Outdoors you can watch the world go by on the relaxing front porch, entertain guests on the covered back porch that overlooks the patio, and the fully fenced in backyard. It is not easy to find this perfect combination of age and beauty, but as you step inside you will understand. Come see it today! Offers will not be reviewed prior to 2pm on Tuesday the 23rd.
