1314 W Monroe Street

Historic architecture for the modernist: This home was impeccably rebuilt in 2015, preserving its architectural origins while seamlessly integrating contemporary amenities. The exterior has been restored to its original 1900s facade, even earning the Governor's award for heritage preservation, with custom Andersen windows that have been faithfully replicated to the original specifications and complemented by a front porch with rusticated blocks and gold-leafed address numbers. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a bright and airy space with high ceilings and abundant natural light that fills the open layout through skylights and corner windows. The well-appointed kitchen features a spacious island, tons of storage space, a six-burner gas stove, and marble countertops. A split floor plan ensures privacy for the primary suite. The backyard is an ideal space for outdoor living, featuring a shade-providing gazebo and a detached structure that's cooled and insulated - perfect for a workspace or hobby studio. For those with a green thumb, there are planter beds and fruit trees - including fig, apple, and citrus. A fully offset owned solar system, finished attic space and historic property taxes just add to the appeal of this property. Nestled near Historic Grand Avenue, this home places you at the heart of the vibrant downtown scene. From concerts and sporting events to art shows on Grand Ave or Roosevelt Row, to the foodie restaurants nearby, this is the ideal place to experience living in the midst of it all.
