Property Description

Welcome to “Highgrove” at 216 Highland Ave, a truly exceptional Colonial Revival residence in the heart of the prestigious Sedgwick-Highland Preservation District. Originally built in 1905, this stately home has been masterfully restored and reimagined into a modern-day showpiece, seamlessly blending historic character with high-end updates. From the moment you arrive, the renewed front landscaping and timeless curb appeal set the tone. Inside, you’ll find beautifully refinished hardwood floors, expansive living spaces, and thoughtful design throughout. The stunning eat-in kitchen is a centerpiece, featuring custom cabinetry, designer lighting, and stainless steel appliances (new in 2023), perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this home provides incredible space and flexibility across three finished levels. Each of the three full baths has been meticulously designed with tile showers, period-inspired soaking tubs, and dual vanities.

Additional highlights include three fireplaces, a dedicated den, and the convenience of second-floor laundry.
