About this home

Built in 1910, this historic Carriage District home has stood as a quiet testament to early 20th-century craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Original wood floors bear the character of generations past, while substantial baseboards and classic crown molding frame each space with enduring elegance. Two fireplaces once served as gathering points, warming gracious living areas designed for both conversation and comfort. A sweeping staircase rises from the entry, setting a tone of timeless presence and architectural significance.

The home was designed with uncommon foresight, offering primary bedrooms on both the first and second floors, each with an en-suite bath—providing flexibility and privacy well ahead of its time. Tall ceilings, large rooms, and abundant natural light enhance the sense of scale and warmth throughout. Covered porches on both levels offered places to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of the neighborhood, a tradition that still feels possible today.

Set back from the street, a gated driveway leads to the garage, offering privacy and added security while preserving the home’s stately presence. Modern updates include Bosch stainless steel appliances, a 6-burner gas cooktop, and double ovens, blending contemporary convenience with historic charm.
