About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to 710 Duke located in the historic St. John’s Academy originally built in 1826. It is the jewel in the crown of this special enclave of ten townhomes. This historic home has retained many of its historic qualities while allowing for modern conveniences. Upon entering the home, you are immediately captivated by the period details that include lovely moldings throughout, tall ceilings and original hardwood floors. As you step through the gracious entrance hall, you immediately see this main level offers an inviting drawing room with a gas fireplace. This then leads into a beautiful dining room with amazing natural light streaming in from the bay windows. You will discover a true chef’s delight in the gourmet kitchen. It recently went through a top-to-bottom renovation while retaining the gorgeous hardwood floors. Of note in this designer kitchen are custom cabinets of different sizes, accommodating the storage of everything from your fine China to your favorite cooking tools. In addition to the incredible storage there is amazing prep space on both the custom island and on either side of the custom built-in sink. The kitchen island also lends itself beautifully to casual dining. There is also a convenient and charming powder room on the main level along with a coat closet. As you ascend the stairs to the upper levels, you will find 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The entire second floor makes up the primary suite which is a unique oasis that includes the second gas fireplace and offers 2 primary baths and custom dressing rooms. The primary bathroom and dressing room to the left of the fireplace underwent a complete renovation. This renovation included a custom vanity, lighting, and closets, along with a beautifully marble-tiled walk-in shower. The third floor offers 2 bedrooms, the larger of which has beautiful exposed beams and the third gas fireplace. Both bedrooms offer wonderful built-in bookshelves and share an updated full bath. The laundry is also conveniently located on this floor. From the 3rd floor you can also access the famous cupola--an easily recognizable beacon as you drive up Duke Street--particularly during the holidays when the Christmas tree is lit. The lower level of the home offers space for an exercise or tv room along with convenient shelves, a workbench, and abundant storage. The home comes complete with 2 off-street parking spaces.
