    What's special

    Grand living spaceEthereal natural lightRugged exposed brick fireplaceOriginal hardwood floorsLush corner lot
    Stepping through the threshold of this 1928 brick and stone Tudor is like falling headlong into the pages of a classic romance. While the neighborhood pulses with the modern energy of 12 South, this home remains a soulful sanctuary, untouched by the clinical coldness of new construction. It is a place of whispered secrets and soaring inspiration, once owned by an award-winning author who surely drew magic from these very walls. Every room is a love letter to craftsmanship, flooded with an ethereal natural light that dances across original hardwood floors. The heart of the home, a grand living space anchored by a rugged exposed brick fireplace, invites you to linger long after the sun sets. Outside, the charm continues on a side porch made for slow mornings and quiet reflection, overlooking a lush corner lot with a direct view of the park. The story evolves as you discover the home’s hidden versatility. An exterior stairwell leads to a private upstairs suite—a self-contained world featuring its own living area, laundry, bedroom, and bath. Whether you envision a writer’s retreat or a lucrative short-term rental, the income potential is as captivating as the architecture. Complete with a fenced-in backyard that feels like a secret garden, this is more than a house; it is a storybook life waiting for its next protagonist. If you are searching for a home with a heartbeat, a history, and a touch of the divine, your search ends here.
