About This Home
As of June 2025Originally built in 1880 and known as the William H. McDuffie House, this residence stands as a beautifully preserved piece of neighborhood history — and one of its most admired homes. A meticulous restoration blends historic bones with modern, elevated design at every turn. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath gem has been cared for with a level of detail that's hard to describe — but easy to feel the second you walk through the door. The interiors are a masterclass in intentionality. High ceilings, custom lighting that doubles as art, and a kitchen built to entertain and inspire — featuring bespoke cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a built-in banquette that belongs in a magazine. The first floor flows effortlessly: a gracious entry with an elegant staircase, an airy living room that connects to a generous dining space which is all bathed in natural light and surrounded by beautiful craftsmanship. The second level you will find 3 spacious bedrooms with ample closet space in each. Outside, the magic continues. The expansive, professionally designed grounds are a true urban oasis, offering rare privacy, lush gardens, and multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining. Even the garage was reimagined with one bay for parking, the other a heated, studio quality fitness space that feels more private retreat than home gym. For the discerning buyer who values design, character, and location — this house is the one.
