This grand 1880s estate boasts 3,500 square feet of living space spanning three full stories, with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths plus a game room and private office.

One of nine homes on historic "Denny Row" with matching covered front porches, it overlooks the stunning Emmanuel Episcopal Church - a historic landmark and one of H.H. Richardson's last designs. When you step inside through the grand double doors, the original tile entry, pine floors and a carved newel-post staircase welcome you. Inside, original character - eight fireplaces and intricate wood details around every corner - blends with a modern, spacious feel: 11-foot exposed ceilings and brick walls throughout. The chef's kitchen features Viking appliances, including a range set into the original brick hearth, plus an oversized island with seating, a wine fridge, a pot filler and a wood-fired pizza oven. At the rear of the home, the formal dining room opens to the garage roof deck, perfect for grilling and al fresco dining. A dedicated office and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features original leaded glass windows, two walk-in closets and a private bath with dual vanities, an oversized shower and a private water closet. The third floor is an entertainer's dream, with an expansive game room, two fireplaces and a bar inspired by New Orleans' Bourbon Street. Spiral stairs lead up through a hydraulic hatch to the rooftop deck and sweeping city views. A private guest suite with a full bath and laundry rounds out the top floor. Don't miss the basement with high ceilings, spanning the footprint of the home. Dreaming of a home gym? A wine cellar? There's plenty of room for that and more!
