Built in 1899 in the Anglo-Italianate style, this handsome home features a red brick facade with painted black windows, doors and cornice along with a dramatic high stoop. As you enter the arched entry doors to the expansive, light-filled parlor level, white oak herringbone floors usher you into the sitting room where a wood burning fireplace anchors the space. Floor to ceiling full sized windows provide golden illumination throughout the day while custom bookshelves house your favorite novels and vases, making this the perfect room to enjoy in solace or entertain a large group of friends.

Beyond the living area is the recently renovated gourmet kitchen which is filled with southern sunlight and large windows. The custom kitchen features wood cabinetry, quartz counters and top of the line appliances including a Wolf range and Bosch dishwasher. Large enough to seat 12 comfortably, a banquet (with storage) and table line the eastern wall of the eat-in-kitchen. As you step outside the back door you are met with a perfect deck for dining al fresco. It overlooks the verdant, lushly landscaped rear garden featuring integrated speakers, lighting and separate patio at the far end of the yard. Not to be overlooked, is the magical magnolia tree which provides both shade and ambiance to this beautifully maintained and relaxing oasis.

Back inside, you ascend the steps to the second-floor where gorgeous original wide plank wood floors create a sense of warmth, charm and history. On this floor, three well laid out bedrooms with plenty of closet space can be found. The primary features a walk in closet with custom shelving, as well as a stunning decorative fireplace. A spacious and full bathroom complete with soaking tub, Grohe and Duravit fixtures subway tiles and towel bar warmer complete the picture.

The garden level is a favorite gathering spot thanks to the open living concept which is anchored by a custom wet bar complete with SMEG refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and warming drawer. Enjoy movie nights in the spacious media room while the well-stocked wet bar and refrigerator keeps refreshments and snacks close at hand. Conveniently located on this floor is an additional full bath with mosaic tile floors.

The home features a full basement, multiple zoned AC, updated electrical, no outdated permits and is fully ready for its next owner.

Ideally located on a storied tree-lined block close to all the shops, cafes, boutiques, bars and services on Smith Street, yet a few blocks from Carroll Park, Court Street and transportation you simply cannot beat the location. Beautiful, charming and priced to sell this is one of those homes that only comes around every once in a great while!
