A plaque fixed to the façade of the home at 1523 Southeastern Ave. clues you in on its significance.
Built in 1853, this 6,000-square-foot Italianate home has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
Yellow and green accents complement the all-brick façade, and a porch the length of the house provides plenty of space for outdoor seating or a porch swing.
The lot itself is just a bit larger than ¼ of an acre, but the large house boasts
four bedrooms and three bathrooms—each have been updated to give the home a refreshed look that complements the original exposed brick.
The home has seven fireplaces, offering a cozy feeling throughout that is reminiscent of the time period the property was built.
The kitchen is modern with steel appliances. And the house has a large unfinished attic.
The house features its original hardwood floors and is a sanctuary of exposed brick walls and archways.
Perhaps our favorite part of the home is the two-story library. Bookshelves line walls in the basement and extend into the first floor. The library features a cozy reading nook with a fireplace.
The rest of the basement has catacomb feels, with plenty of space for a pool table and more.
The property’s backyard is stunning as well. With a large tree acting as the centerpiece, plants of all kinds line the brick fence. There’s small deck for seating or grilling out.
The house is in a prime location, just about a mile away from Elevator Hill, Fountain Square, Fletcher Place, Mass Ave and downtown.
Brokered by Plat Collective, the house is listed for $524,900.
