Welcome to this beautifully preserved 1912, red brick, bay-front gem, built by the legendary 20th Century developer Harry Wardman, renowned for his superb craftsmanship, spacious interiors, and elegant designs.

This unique home also offers numerous stylish additions and updates while being situated on an ideal, tree-lined block of 16th Street Heights. Offering four bedrooms - including a main-level bedroom for added convenience - and three full bathrooms, this home provides both comfort and flexibility for today's lifestyle.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer plenty of natural light and room to retreat, including a king-sized primary bedroom with bay window flooding the space with light. An updated full hall bathroom completes this level.
