About This Home

Fully renovated to the studs with a thoughtful expansion, this Historic Heights home offers 4–5 bedrooms in the main house plus a garage apartment, all on over a 10,000 sq ft lot with a resort-style pool and brick-fenced yard. Designed by renowned Heights architect Creole Designs, it blends original charm with elevated finishes including hardwood floors, a defined parlour, and a striking bar with smoked glass backsplash and brass floating shelves. The kitchen features custom site-built cabinetry, a large island, and opens seamlessly to the living areas, while a mudroom with built-in desk adds function. A shiplap study with full bath nods to the home’s history. A sun-filled stairway with herringbone brick floors leads to a game room loft, guest bedrooms, and hidden seasonal storage. The vaulted primary suite is downstairs with sliding glass doors to the pool and yard.
