Every detail reflects a commitment to intentional, refined design, unparalleled quality, and enduring comfort. As striking as the visible design is—the elegant finishes, the curated textures, the seamless flow of light and space—what truly sets this home apart is what you don’t see: the craftsmanship and quality behind the walls. From the foundation to the finishes, every inch of this property has been constructed to last, ensuring not just beauty but sustainability. With four generously sized bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a half bath off the parlor, the home provides both comfort and versatility, perfectly suited to modern living. The owner’s duplex opens unto a large private deck and access to the garden, a serene outdoor space for relaxation or entertaining. Built in 1899, the home retains many original details, including vaulted tin ceilings, an extraordinarily restored central stair, exposed brick, and original and restored parquet floors. The home is fully air conditioned with individual zones and has restored original radiators for heating. The main bedroom suite has an enormous walk-in closet and a beautifully tiled four fixture bathroom including a large soaking tub, overlooking the rear garden. Thoughtfully updated with a new exceptionally well-organized kitchen, great storage and quality appliances, a wonderful living room, a full walk-in coat closet and modern amenities and all new high quality Marvin windows, 761 Macon Street seamlessly blends contemporary convenience with classic elegance.
