Built in 1897 by Herman Huessler, this Classic Revival landmark in the heart of historic Compton Heights pairs century-old splendor with a meticulous, museum-quality renovation — backed by significant recent investment from the current owners. 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus a 2,500-square-foot carriage house, a rarity in this market. The chef’s kitchen anchors the main level with a 48” Wolf range(2023), a built in Sub-Zero refrigerator, two butler’s pantries, a wine cooler, and dual prep sinks. A grand staircase rises beneath a stunning art glass window, framed by oversized pocket doors, six original marble fireplaces, hardwood floors throughout, and hand-carved millwork, paneling, and columns. Newly recarpeted stairways and landings and striking decorative light fixtures in the living and dining rooms add fresh polish to the home’s historic bones. The primary suite offers a spa-caliber retreat with a 6x8 shower, dual exotic granite vanities, custom travertine, and a large stained glass window. A beautifully updated second guest bath features a 6-foot soaker tub, alongside two additional guest bedrooms and a dedicated laundry room. The third floor adds a media room, mini kitchen, guest bedroom and bath, and a private office. A private drive beneath the porte cochère leads to the carriage house — recently upgraded with new ceiling fans and additional electrical outlets throughout, and the site of countless weddings and celebrations over the years. Outside, owners installed a saltwater pool, a newly rebuilt rear deck, and a custom built tigerwood privacy fence. A whole-home Sonos audio system — speakers and amps, indoors and out — was fully replaced, and zoned HVAC with an efficiency boiler delivers instant hot water heat throughout. A rare opportunity for buyers who demand the craftsmanship of a century-plus home, recently and thoughtfully reinvested in, with finishes that exceed the most discerning expectations.
