1537 Rosewood Ave

Restored in a fashion so as to preserve the integrity of the home for years to come, this fabulous home in the Tyler Park neighborhood of the Highlands seamlessly blends historic charm and craftsmanship with modern amenities and conveniences. The stately exterior welcomes you with a full-width front porch, fluted columns, and ornate moldings, while the solid brick walls and stone foundation lend to the formidable stature of the property. Old-world craftsmanship abounds as you enter the home, with 10.5 foot ceilings, beautifully refinished inlay flooring, elaborate trim, two fireplaces, and a spectacular dining room with coffered ceiling. The design-inspired kitchen now sports custom cabinetry alongside the original butler's pantry, integrated GE Monogram dishwasher and glass-front refrigerator, an Aga dual-fuel range, and a custom hood. Rounding out the first floor living spaces are two spacious bedrooms and an updated full bathroom with custom shower, exposed brick wall, and heated tile floor. Entering the second floor you will find another full bathroom, large laundry room, and two sizeable bedrooms, one having a large cedar closet. Also on the second floor, a spectacular new master suite awaits with huge vaulted ceilings, ample natural light and closet space, and steps to your private yoga/meditation loft. Glass paneled pocket doors lead to the new master bathroom with custom shower, double vanity and heated tile floor.
A Highlands rarity, this home flaunts an amazing full-footprint basement with newly poured and dyed concrete floor, wet bar, custom lighting, and rough-in plumbing for a shower, utility sink, and laundry (toilet already installed). At the rear of the property, you will find the original carriage house now offering coveted off-street parking with a custom electric garage door from Cunningham, a newly poured concrete floor, and an unfinished loft space, perfect for storage. Less visible but equally important, this home has received extensive and valuable updates including: spray foam insulation, new electrical service, panel & rewiring, new furnace and air conditioning, including a Mitsubishi mini-split system for year-round comfort in the master suite, high-efficiency tankless hot water heater, and a central vacuum system. Don't miss your opportunity to make this Highlands dream home yours!
