About this home
Nestled on over an acre in the heart of Edgewood, this extraordinary five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence is a masterclass in architecturally focused renovation. Beautiful woodwork and fireplace mantels welcome you from the moment you step into the expansive entryway.
Thoughtfully reimagined with deep respect for its architectural heritage, the home seamlessly blends period-authentic craftsmanship with modern functionality across three beautifully finished levels. Every detail reflects a commitment to preserving historic character. Extensive plaster repair, ceiling restoration, and historically appropriate paint palettes highlight the home’s original craftsmanship. The main level showcases refinished oak floors, while carefully selected Victorian-inspired wool carpeting, period lighting, and authentic hardware—enhance the home's timeless appeal.
The refreshed kitchen maintains its charm with cabinet modifications that honor the home’s era. The range features both a grill and griddle for added versatility. The powder room and hall bath have been updated with newer tile flooring and fixtures that complement the historic aesthetic.
Custom bookcases and a handcrafted library table were created to match the original casework. Historically appropriate built-in shelving has been added, while non-original built-ins were removed to restore proper proportions and sightlines.
The third floor has been fully reimagined to provide improved bedroom layouts and a spacious bath, complete with its own dedicated HVAC system for year-round comfort. The stunning expanded bath features a clawfoot tub, separate shower, dual sinks, and a private water closet—offering both elegance and practicality.
The grounds are equally remarkable. Extensive garden and landscape design transform the 1+ acre property into a private retreat. The driveway has been upgraded with improved drainage, the shed has been rebuilt, and a serene pond with electrical service enhances the estate-like setting. The property includes a three-car integral garage along with additional off-street parking.
Zoned heating is provided by 3 furnaces and air conditioning units service both the family room and the third floor.
This is more than a home—it is a thoughtfully restored architectural treasure offering rare scale, craftsmanship, and grounds in one of the East End’s most cherished neighborhoods. Whether you envision a private residence or continuing its use as a bed and breakfast, this exceptional property offers remarkable flexibility. Ideally located near the Edgewood Club, the library, the Regent Square business district, Frick Park, and convenient transportation to Oakland, Downtown, and the eastern suburbs....
