Alluringly shielded by greenery from public view, this Greek Revival jewel box is one of Church Hill's most charming homes. Built in 1858 and modestly expanded in the 20th C., this two-story brick house is ready for you to write its next chapter. Period details--including expertly conceived, architect-designed updates from the 1980s-- accentuate spaces that are open and modern. For examples, a wall of windows in the kitchen overlooks the garden, while French doors in an office open to a metal deck system designed for plants. A period perfect black tile bath—dating to the Reagan era—still looks astonishingly modern. The first floor has a living room with built-in shelving and library ladder, a dining room, office, kitchen and powder room. On the second floor are two bedrooms, a laundry closet and a full bath. Beautiful old windows with wavy glass, vintage flooring, and rebuilt fireplaces with antique mantels signal quality. High ceilings, wide halls, and original staircase dignify the setting. The deep rear yard is a tabula rasa for your horticultural imprint. Sale includes a 9’ x 33’ adjacent parcel fronting 29th street. The property is being sold "as is."
