About this home

Recently renovated and expanded historic gem — design by Brickmoon, taken to the studs by Bullethoof in 2021. Nestled on a quiet street in the heart of the Heights Historic District, this light-filled, nationally registered historic home shows like new and features 3BR/3.5BA + Flex, two living areas, a formal dining room, and a sunny eat-in nook. Thoughtful, high-end details abound: original hardwood floors downstairs, reclaimed white oak upstairs, quartzite and marble countertops, Viking and SubZero appliances, custom cabinetry, and an attached two-car garage with a dramatic wall of windows. Bonus: a large, fully fenced and irrigated backyard. An idyllic pairing of historic character and modern luxury — all wiring, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation replaced in 2021, plus a whole-home generator added in 2024. Zoned to Harvard Elementary and just steps from chic dining, shopping, and everything the Heights has to offer. Come see where charm meets modern convenience.
