Classic Church Hill architecture meets thoughtful modern design in this exceptional 1880 brick home, set on one of the most beautiful gas-lit blocks in the St. John's Church Historic District. Sitting high above the street, the home enjoys a commanding presence and elevated views that immediately set it apart. This home lives like a much newer property while preserving the character that makes the Hill timeless. Fresh paint throughout and newly refinished first-floor hardwoods give the home a crisp, polished feel—truly move-in ready.

Inside, soaring ceilings, oak floors, and gracious formal rooms create a sense of scale while remaining open and functional for modern life. The living room features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the full front porch, a fireplace with original mantel, and pocket doors opening to the dining room—classic details that anchor the home's historic character.

The heart of the house is the impressive kitchen, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A dramatic 12-foot Carrera marble island, matching marble countertops and backsplash, and high-end stainless appliances—including a gas range and recently replaced refrigerator and dishwasher—make the space both striking and practical. The floor plan flows seamlessly into the rear living spaces and outdoor patio, offering a layout rarely found in historic homes.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat featuring a marble bathroom with an oversized walk-in shower, double vanities, a walk-in closet, and an attached sitting room that can serve as an office or potential fourth bedroom. Additional bedrooms are generously sized, and the convenience of an upstairs laundry with washer and dryer replaced in 2023 adds everyday practicality. The owners added a rear patio and hardscaping and installed a whole-house generator in 2024.

Located on a gas-light-lined street just one block from Libby Hill Park, refined finishes, a smart, livable layout, and a prime location complete the picture.
