Property Description
Where the City Disappears. Tucked behind gates beneath a canopy of mature trees, this beautifully preserved 1935 Craftsman sits on a rare double lot in the heart of Cherryhurst, where the backyard feels more like a private resort than the middle of Montrose. Fully fenced and designed for year-round enjoyment, the heated saltwater pool, spa, waterfall, and lush landscaping create an unforgettable retreat. Inside, original hardwood floors, gracious living and dining spaces, a beautifully updated kitchen, dedicated home office, sunlit gallery, and private primary suite blend timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates. A fully independent guest cottage with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom, bath, and laundry overlooks the pool, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or future income potential. Blocks from Cherryhurst Park, the Menil Collection, Blacksmith, Hugo's, Da Marco, and Montrose's beloved cafés, restaurants, and boutiques.
