Some homes are renovated. Others are revived with intention—where every detail honors the past while elevating how we live today. This 1890 home is exactly that: a seamless blend of historic character and modern craftsmanship, built to last another 100 years.
Honoring the Original Character
From the moment you arrive, the home tells a story. A custom front door sets the tone, while the Victorian-style scroll post brackets and 6-ft porch swing recreate the charm of the original front porch.
The brick herringbone porch, finished with a soft limewash, pairs seamlessly with matching brick wainscoting around the home—tying old-world design into a cohesive exterior. Even the window trim, inside and out, was carefully matched to reflect the home’s original detailing.

Craftsmanship That Steals the Show
Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. The standout feature?
100-year-old reclaimed beams set against an 8-inch nickel gap tongue-and-groove ceiling—a true centerpiece that captures the soul of the home.
Underfoot, 8-inch character-grade white oak flooring with a commercial-grade, water-based finish adds warmth and durability. Details like inlaid floor vents and custom built-in bookshelves with integrated lighting elevate the space even further.
