About this home
Stunning and crafted to perfection, this one brings together the best of both worlds-historic character and modern convenience. Thoughtfully restored and completely renovated, this home feels like a classic beauty and lives like something new. From the moment you step inside, the sleek, custom staircase makes a statement, and it only gets better from there. Currently being used as a successful and profitable short to mid-term rental with an impressive following of fans, this would be a turn-key home to add to your portfolio, or start your career as a host. The chef's kitchen could be a place to demonstrate your culinary talents for classes or guests. The open concept main floor living area showcases a cook’s dream kitchen, with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an island begging for cookie decorating parties. The custom tile wall over the stove adds the right touch of flair. The walk-in pantry with its eye-catching antique door, might be the envy of the city. Details like the antique kitchen cornices and the reclaimed original doors used in the main floor half bath and the upper floor full bath give subtle nods to the homes early era, all while blending beautifully with today’s comforts. The main floor primary suite is spacious and luxurious, complete with its spa-like en-suite bath, and the walk-in closet with built-ins. Don’t miss the mystery door tucked inside the closet-it leads to the basement and adds a bit of fun to the thoughtful design. Upstairs, you will find spacious, light-filled bedrooms that offer plenty of room to stretch out. There is a thoughtfully placed laundry area, an impressive bathroom, and a sitting area that makes one want to spend an afternoon reading. Outdoors, the charm continues. The front porch, with its graceful curve, offers a perfect view of Holliday Park. The front fencing was custom made to complement both the part and the neighboring home. In the back, an 8-foot privacy fence wraps around the yard, and includes a pergola for relaxing or entertaining. The patio is extra special-crafted from original street bricks, it is a one-of-a-kind space that adds even more history to the homes. Updated electrical, new HVAC (with separate units for each floor for added efficiency), and truly beautiful craftsmanship throughout mean a new owner can move right in and enjoy every detail. Located close to the park, Downtown, and with a fantastic view of the Capitol-this home offers endless opportunities, whether you are looking for a forever home or a unique investment.
