Property Description

1015 Harvey Street has a rich history of transformations! Built in 1920 in the historic Hayes Barton neighborhood, it began as a substantial residence. During World War II, the property was divided and converted into apartments to address housing shortages, a common fate for larger homes in the era. After its time as apartments, it transitioned back to a single-family home, undergoing significant updates and extensive modern renovations while retaining its classic charm, blending original features with modern elegance. It is considered a contributing resource to the Hayes Barton Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Every inch of this beautifully updated home has been thoughtfully designed and no space is wasted. The completely renovated kitchen can easily be described as a chef's kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, a large island that easily seats six, deep storage drawers, prep sink, and top-of-the-line appliances: a Wolf gas range with six burners, infrared griddle, and double ovens; pot filler, Sub-Zero refrigerator with freezer drawers; and Sub-Zero wine fridge with beverage drawers. A walk-in china closet, walk-in pantry, and wet bar provide even more storage and function. The living room exudes character with gas logs, custom built-ins and beautiful natural light with French doors to the front porch. The adjoining den has a wood-burning fireplace with gas-starter and don't miss the storage / stereo closet. More French doors lead out to the back covered porch. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with a sitting area, stunning en suite bath featuring a soaking tub, large shower, and double vanities.

The partially finished basement includes tall, personalized storage cabinets, abundant shelving, and drawers, and is perfect for an office, kids or teen hangout.

It includes walk-out access to the outdoor ''ping pong den'' and custom playhouse! The 12 x 38 covered porch, overlooking the lush, private backyard, is an outdoor living space to enjoy year-round.
