Property Description

Built in 1905 and offering more than 5,000 square feet, this North Hill estate retains the scale, craftsmanship, and architectural detail that make these homes increasingly rare. Set on a brick street in the heart of the North Hill Preservation District, the home opens to a grand central foyer with tall ceilings, beautifully preserved original wood coffered ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and formal and informal living spaces on either side. Beyond the parlor, the original dining room is currently used as a music room, with a side entrance opening beneath the original carriage portico. The first floor also includes the original butler's pantry, a well-appointed kitchen, remodeled half bath, and the uncommon convenience of a first-floor ensuite. A second staircase provides additional access upstairs. The main staircase rises to a generous second-floor landing and three additional bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite with a private sitting room surrounded by windows. The primary bath leads to an exceptionally large walk-in closet. Two guest bedrooms share a full bath, while a dedicated laundry room and separate office or workout room complete the second floor. The original detached carriage house remains on the property and offers considerable potential for conversion to a two-car garage with an apartment above for guests, extended family, or rental use. More than a century after it was built, the home's original craftsmanship remains remarkably present-from the unpainted coffered ceilings and hardwood floors to the staircases, room proportions, and carriage entrance that speak to how the house was originally designed and lived in.
