You'll love 1534 W Highland- it's stylish, renovated top-to-bottom, inside and out, and one of the prettiest on an Edgewater street where preservation and renovation abound! With 4 BR, 3.1 Baths, The trim, clean-lined facade- done in grey maintenance-free Hardieboard siding with distinctive white detailing- immediately shares a story of thoughtful re-design and renovation planning. First glance says "welcome home!", and the same comfortable feeling continues when you step inside to find a soft color palette paired with miles of glossy white millwork. The gracious, covered front porch is framed by traditional railings, columns, and scads of fresh, white trim details plus luxe plantation shutters. To the side, a classic octagonal bump-out spans both main and second stories, providing a beautiful architectural detail inside and out. Deep-toned hardwood flooring flows throughout the main and upper level, creating a rich plateau that complements furnishings.
