About This Home
A truly exceptional offering in the coveted Willo Historic District, this fully reimagined Mid-Century home blends timeless architecture with a complete modern transformation. Originally built in 1955, the home has undergone an extensive renovation, including raised 9 ft ceilings, opened walls, all-new electrical and plumbing, redesigned ductwork, and luxury upgrades throughout—creating a fresh, light-filled living experience rarely found in historic neighborhoods.
Step inside to a beautifully executed open floor plan where the living, dining, kitchen, and family room flow seamlessly together. Designer Porcelanosa tile imported from Spain, architectural LED lighting, new dual-pane sliders, and custom finishes elevate every space. The chef's kitchen shines with Café appliances,... ...custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Italian hand-blown lighting, and thoughtfully reconfigured electrical for modern living.
Both bathrooms were fully rebuilt with high-end fixtures, custom vanities, luxury tile, upgraded glass, and spa-inspired details, including a Kohler steam shower in the primary suite. All bedrooms offer direct access to the outdoors, enhancing the home's serene indoor/outdoor connection.
The backyard is a true private retreat, lush, quiet, and tailored for relaxation or entertaining. Enjoy a sparkling pool, built-in BBQ, custom planters, shaded patio spaces, and total privacy rarely found in the city. A drive-through garage plus a detached bonus room provides flexible space for a home office, art studio, gym, or creative workspace.
Located on one of Willo's most desirable streets, this home places you steps from the Arts District, top restaurants, museums, and local coffee shops. A perfect blend of historic charm, modern luxury, and unbeatable walkability, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to welcome you home.
