Built in 1860 and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home features soaring 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and rich Brazilian cherry hardwoods that merge old-world detail with modern comfort. The main level welcomes you with dramatic 12-foot ceilings and exposed brick, creating a striking living room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. The gourmet kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops, gas cooktop, wet bar and wine refrigerator - perfect for entertaining. A spacious dining area flows seamlessly into the living zone, offering an ideal setup for both casual and formal gatherings.

A versatile third-floor loft can serve as a guest suite, home office or fitness area - the perfect flexible space. Located just steps away from the vibrant restaurants, galleries and nightlife of The Vista, yet tucked into a secure, boutique-townhouse setting. Walkable to the riverfront, local galleries and urban amenities - enjoy downtown life at its best.
