French doors open to covered porches, inviting in soft breezes and filtered sunlight. The high-end, custom kitchen seamlessly blends form and function, while the bathroom features imported Turkish tile that nods to global sophistication. Throughout, original details were lovingly restored, preserving the patina of plaster walls and the weight of history. Two additional rental units,large, light-filled, and individually styled—offer updated kitchens, central air and heat, wood floors, and private charm.. Outdoors, the lush garden, pond, and canopy of shade feel like a hidden oasis, just 1.5 blocks from St. Charles Avenue.
