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.

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.
