19th century elegance meets 21st century living. Available for the first time since its full architectural redesign and restoration completed in 2019. A truly dazzling townhome located less than a block from the vibrant City Market. The exuberant Italianate exterior dates back to 1888 and is still very much intact with ornamental brick work and soaring arches. Today, the finished four story home is a showpiece with its glamorous brick and lacquered facade. Enter through a double door vestibule into an oversized and light filled living room. The open floor plan with white oak flooring and towering ceilings includes fireplaces in both the living and dining rooms. The modern Thermador custom kitchen has a dramatic quartz waterfall island and backsplash, window wall and glass door entrance into the private entertaining garden and secure carport for two vehicles with automatic garage door. Additional highlights throughout the home include three en suite bedrooms with ten to 14-foot ceilings, extraordinary primary bedroom with fireplace and marble bathroom including a double sink vanity and oversized rain shower, 20-foot stairway atrium with skylight, breathtaking third level with vaulted ceilings and a balcony large enough for dining and sunning. The meticulous upgrades extend behind the walls with a new HVAC system and copper plumbing. 1531 8th Street embodies the best of past and present.
