A grand three-story historic home built in 1910 is going for $1.73 million in the Monte Vista neighborhood, successfully managing to ooze historic charm with thoughtful, modern updates.
An arched front door centered between two sets of columns on a covered front porch opens into a large entry room with a living room and sitting room on either side, both with fireplaces.
A connected formal dining room also has its own fireplace as a centerpiece of conversation.
Nearby, the bright, fully renovated kitchen includes an attached breakfast room with a wall of windows facing the backyard.
In the heart of the 5,790-square-foot home, a stately staircase with rich wood banisters passes by an elaborate stained glass window leading to the second level, where four bedrooms, three bathrooms and yet another living room can be found.
The most notable departure from the house’s original design is the primary suite, which includes a spa-like en suite bath with dual vanity sinks, a walk-in shower, a garden tub and a custom walk-in closet with ample storage. The primary suite also has its own direct access to the second floor balcony.
The third floor is a large flex space covered in warm wood paneling that currently serves as a large home gym and guest room.
In addition to the porch sitting and balcony lounging the front of the house invites, the rear of the home also includes a screened-in porch as well as a swimming pool with a spa and a fire pit.
This home is listed by Ellen McDonough with Phyllis Browning Company.
