Property Description

Fully renovated and stately Colonial in Boylan Heights is move-in ready with lots of history! The owners unearthed captivating tales during the process and discovered hidden windows, autographed joists, and beautifully preserved heart pine floors that had been concealed for years. A down-to-the-studs renovation in 2009, the home's HVAC, plumbing, and electrical was all redone. The primary bedroom features a spa-like bathroom and walk-in closet. A first-floor bedroom or flex area boasts SoundSoak insulation for a private movie or gaming experience, without disturbing other household members. Whole-house audio capabilities are enhanced with speaker wire and CAT6 wiring throughout, while 18 of the 22 windows have been replaced for efficiency. Inside, the blend of original flooring, trim, and wood banisters with updated kitchens and baths creates an inviting atmosphere. The home features eight fireplaces for ambiance, though primarily decorative. The open and functional floorplan provides areas for work or quiet moments, with ample storage including a giant utility room, deep kitchen pantry, and walk-in closet in the primary suite, as well as space under the deck and in an accessible crawl space. Outside, the front porch invites neighborly interactions, while the screened porch offers a private retreat or entertainment space for intimate gatherings. Boylan Heights epitomizes the urban lifestyle, emphasizing community. Engage in monthly potluck dinners, the renowned Art Walk, gatherings at nearby Project Enlightenment, strolls in Dix Park, or casual porch hangouts, welcoming you into a vibrant social fabric.
