Description:

Most of the residences in this part of 16th Street Heights share a common history. Built during the 1940s, these Colonial Revivals were designed with a symmetrical plan to reflect their 18th- century antecedents. During World War II, these houses, like many American homes built at that time, were set on generous lots and offered finished basements for additional living space that could be used as a respite from the summer’s heat. Now completely renovated and reimagined, all rooms within the 3,400 square feet of interior space relate to each other in a logical and contemporary way. The main level is open and gracious, comprising the kitchen, dining area, and den, while also providing a powder room and access to the backyard. The sensibility of the original house was maintained by including a separate living room with fireplace that connects to a back porch. The second level offers a large primary bedroom with both walk-in and reach-in closets and an ensuite bathroom. There are also two bedrooms of a generous scale, a full bathroom, and laundry on this level. Front and rear dormers were added to the third floor, bringing additional light and living space to this level. Also found on this floor are an office which may be used as a fourth bedroom, a full bathroom, an open family room with wet bar, and a roof deck. The lower level offers a bedroom, a full bathroom, and an additional family room with fireplace and wet bar. A two-car garage with an EV charger as well as a two-car parking pad secured with roll-up gate are accessible from the rear of the lot.
