DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE! At the epicenter of the Hill historic district, you have discovered a masterful MODERN! A rare clean-lined contemporary built ground up to capture southern sun over 4 soaring levels, with striking interior sightlines seldom seen in this storied neighborhood. An elevated main level welcomes with a South-facing dining room wrapped in windows, mirrored dry bar, and discreet powder room. The expansive kitchen overlooks the dramatic living room below — where 20+ foot ceilings, fireplace focal point, and twin atrium doors open to a private garden retreat with effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, two bright front bedrooms share a brand-new hall bath with laundry, plus a flexible third room at the rear - currently configured as office but easily returned to third bedroom. The penthouse-level primary suite crowns the home with skylights and a soaring spa-like bath. A separate-entry studio apartment with C of O offers income or guest flexibility (currently rented - separate showing appointments available starting Monday). Private patio, front sun garden, and off-street parking complete this bold and refreshing original. Visit the open houses this weekend: Saturday 1:00-3:00PM, Sunday 9:00-11:00AM and 1:00-3:00PM.
