About This Home
As of October 2025W. H. Hawkins House (47 Garfield Street) is the perfect blend of modern comfort and historic charm. With a new third-floor primary suite, inclusive of a sprawling bedroom, luxurious bathroom, walk-in closet, and laundry room, this house will have you feeling at home in no time. At 5-bedrooms and 2.5-bathrooms, with a 2-car garage and spacious backyard, this property has it all.

A large kitchen features stainless steel appliances—and all three bathrooms have been remodeled beautifully. Hardwood floors with inlay borders, a leaded-glass built-in buffet, 2 tiled fireplaces, cast iron registers... the historic beauty is vast. The home was built in 1903 and is part of the Forest Park Heights Historic District, named for nearby 735-acre Forest Park. Open House: Sat, 9/6, 10:30am-12:30pm.
