Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Dogtown, this 1907 beauty is the kind of home that makes you slow down and smile. Full of character and warmth, it blends timeless charm with thoughtful, high-end updates in all the right places. Step through the front door and you’re greeted by soaring 11-ft ceilings, crown molding, rich bamboo floors, and sunlight streaming through all-new windows. The custom kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring designer tile work, quartz countertops, cabinetry with interior lighting, a teakwood island, stainless appliances, and a wet bar with beverage fridge — perfect for hosting friends before heading out to enjoy everything Dogtown has to offer. Two original decorative fireplaces — dating back to when the home was built — anchor the dining and bedroom spaces with undeniable old-world charm and storybook character. Upstairs, you’ll find the convenience of second-floor laundry, beautifully updated baths, and smart home features including dual zoning and smart thermostats. Behind the scenes, the important updates are already done — new subfloor & bamboo floors, all knob & tube removed, new furnace, tankless water heater, updated electrical, PEX waterlines, sewer stack, and more — giving you peace of mind for years to come. Outside is where this home truly shines. Enjoy evenings on the covered back deck, gather around the fire pit under the stars, or sip your morning coffee surrounded by lush landscaping filled with peonies, hostas, and hydrangeas. And don’t miss the balcony — the perfect perch to watch Dogtown’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities roll by. Just minutes from Forest Park, The Hill, and quick access to Highways 64 & 44. Homes like this don’t come around often — and when they do, they don’t last. Come see why this one feels so special.
