Nestled in the heart of Summit Hill, 789 Lincoln Avenue blends the elegance of a stately 1905 residence with the thoughtful modern updates today’s homeowners value—offering a rare combination of historic character, refined craftsmanship, and contemporary livability, all set on an exceptional lot and a half, just footsteps from Grand Avenue’s shops, dining, coffee, and everyday conveniences. A welcoming front porch invites you in, where timeless craftsmanship immediately takes center stage. Rich original woodwork—from stylish crown molding to timeless built-ins—adds depth and interest throughout the home. The main level features an easy, open flow with a gracious living room, expansive family room, and formal dining space designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. At the heart of it all, the renovated eat-in kitchen offers custom cabinetry, a cozy gas fireplace, and ample space to gather. A mudroom and half bath add everyday functionality. Upstairs, the second floor offers four bright, comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The top level is a true retreat, with a private owner’s suite featuring skylights and a spacious three-quarter bath with dual sinks and a large walk-in shower. The finished lower level expands your living space even further, with a family room, exercise room, wine room, and half bath. Above the insulated three-car garage, bonus space offers endless potential for a studio, office, or future expansion. Outside, an expansive patio sets the stage for evenings by the wood-burning fireplace. This incredible home shows even better in person! The extensive updates and immaculate condition are evident throughout every level of this home!
