Set on a tree-lined street along the iconic Ladd’s Addition and Colonial Heights, this spacious English renovated by Old Growth Homes blends timeless craftsmanship with a thoughtful reinvention. Inspired by the original fireplace tile, the home’s interior and exterior palette celebrates its historic roots while fresh upgrades bring it confidently into the present. Arched doorways, light-soaked rooms, and gleaming newly refinished floors make every corner feel warm and welcoming. The kitchen is where everyone will want to be with a 36” Verona range, entertaining island with quartz counters, and custom wood cabinetry with soft-close doors. Upstairs and downstairs each enjoy their own dedicated heating and cooling. Five bedrooms and four full baths, including a dreamy primary with heated floors and a skylit shower, offer space to stretch out. Downstairs, the finished lower level (complete with a wet bar and full-sized fridge) sets the stage for movie nights, guest stays, or extended family quarters. Outdoors, you’ll find a private courtyard retreat complete with a decomposed granite patio, new fencing, and a rebuilt chimney. Every system has been touched, from plumbing and electrical to roof and windows, all permitted and professionally handled. Park in the EV-ready, upgraded garage, then stroll or bike to New Seasons, Division, or Hawthorne. Rooted in history, updated for real life in the city we love. [Home Energy Score = 3.
