Just blocks from the renowned Pearl Street Mall, this home offers a front-row seat to the city’s energetic arts, dining, and cultural scene while providing a private retreat filled with warmth, character, and refinement. Once a carriage house and later a church, bookstore, and artist studio, its storied past adds depth and soul to every detail.

Inside, the home blends heritage craftsmanship with modern comfort, featuring exposed brick walls, arched doorways, and original distressed wood floors complemented by sleek, updated finishes.

The upstairs level reveals two beautifully appointed bedrooms under airy, pitched ceilings illuminated by skylights. The primary suite boasts a luxurious king bed beneath a canopy of starlight, while the second bedroom offers twin beds ideal for families or friends. The curved glass-block rain shower and deep soaking tub in the upstairs bath evoke spa-like tranquility. Every touch, from the handcrafted doors to the thoughtful lighting, reflects a devotion to comfort and design.

Outdoors, the enclosed patio invites you to unwind amid twinkling lights and garden seating, a serene contrast to the vibrant hum of Pearl Street just beyond your doorstep.
