About This Home
As of September 2025Welcome to 523 East 23rd St, tucked away in one of the GREENEST, tree lined sections of The Heights.

The home itself could be lifted right off the pages of LUXE Magazine with an OPEN FLOORPLAN showcasing an abundance of LUXURY FEATURES including, ceiling beams, custom wall paneling, rich hardwoods, soapstone and marble countertops, Thermador appliances, motorized window coverings, Lutron lighting, surround sound, EV charging station and more. The primary suite is nothing short of stunning. TWO OUTDOOR spaces with an off kitchen deck and private pool courtyard. GENERATOR
