A rare offering in the heart of the Museum District, this handsome historic brick and slate home sits on an exceptionally rare corner EXPANSIVE LOT! The large side yard has served as the backdrop for everything from everyday play to a full-scale wedding celebration, creating a truly unique outdoor extension of the home. A full irrigation system services front and back landscaping. Inside, thoughtful updates and modern conveniences blend seamlessly with the character and craftsmanship of the original home. A stunning kitchen addition was featured in RHome Magazine. At its center is an oversized island with bar seating, opening to a cozy sitting area surrounded by windows and natural light, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The home offers 4.1 beautifully renovated bathrooms plus an outdoor shower. The primary suite features an adjoining office and the rare luxury of DUAL CLOSETS, including a spacious walk-in. Plantation shutters, an updated front porch, new exterior uplighting that beautifully illuminates the home at night, and the exceptionally rare convenience of a two-car garage further set this home apart. Even the unfinished spaces impress. The large basement is fully heated and cooled with interior and exterior access, offering exceptionally clean, usable storage plus potential for future finished living space. Just as impressive is the care given to the home's major systems and components. The roof combines original slate, TPO membrane (2022 & 2026), and metal (2016); all roof areas were evaluated in 2026 and found to be in good condition. Heating and cooling include a boiler (2019), heat pump (2016), AC unit (2019) and three mini-splits (2022-2025). The fireplace was converted to gas in 2025. From its remarkable double lot and magazine-featured kitchen to its extensive updates, two-car garage and beautifully maintained systems, this move-in-ready Museum District home offers a rare combination of historic character, modern convenience, space and condition.
