It was 1721, and Johann Sebastian Bach was writing quietly in the German court of Köthen — not for kings, but for the pure joy of invention. At Köthen, he composed the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 — a piece that begins in formality, breaks into daring freedom, and returns with light-footed grace. This home moves the same way: anchored in tradition, bursting into life, and resolving in jubilant harmony. The original 1916 home stands with quiet authority: richly detailed, beautifully proportioned, and inviting in its depth and character. Across a glass-lined passage, the modern addition rises — warm and luminous, answering the original structure with a voice of its own. Outside, the home balances permanence and progress: a slate roof crowns the historic structure, while solar panels drape across the flat roof of the modern addition. A driveway threads from Hillcrest to the rear alley, and behind the house, a private, level backyard forms a beautiful backdrop. Inside, six decorative fireplaces anchor rooms with warmth and texture, while museum-quality gallery lighting reveals the character and craft that unify both the historic and modern spaces. The new kitchen serves as the living heart of the home — opening to a casual dining area, a family room, and the open sweep of the backyard beyond. Below, a fully realized lower level offers spaces for retreat, movement, and gathering — a wine cellar, a sauna, a gym, a media room, and a guest suite — all finished to the same high standard that defines the rest of the home. A home rooted in history — and alive to its future.©
