Exceptional Victorian home built in 1889 blends historic charm with modern comfort. Impressive entry foyer features intricately carved wood details including a built-in window seat, gorgeous hardwood floors with mahogany detailing, and an original tile ceiling. South facing living room with an exquisite tiled fireplace is flooded with abundant sunlight all day long through the splendid bay window with oversized windows, and seamlessly flows into a cozy family room and convenient powder room. The generous dining room leads to a spacious cook's kitchen which spans the back of the home, with newly painted white cabinetry, stainless appliances, expansive granite counters, and a large breakfast area with a decorative cast iron stove. The versatile 2nd floor offers a delightfully sunny sitting room with a bay window and another gorgeous tiled fireplace, plus 3 other possible bedrooms and a large recently updated family bath. The 3rd floor provides additional living space for bedrooms or offices, some with great city views, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The lower level has a finished 1 bed 2 bath apartment with its own laundry great for long term guests or an au pair. Approved zoning allows for a second living unit - a perfect use for the charming carriage house at rear of property. Freshly painted throughout. Ideally located between College Hill and Freeman Plat, this East Side gem is walkable to shops, schools, and universities, with easy access to the train and interstate.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
