Property Description
A Stunning sanctuary in the heart of the Old Town Triangle Historic District-where exterior changes are carefully regulated to preserve its historic character- this one-of-a-kind residence originally built for JA Licht, blends historic roots with a striking, design-forward interior and an unexpected sense of privacy. Believed to date back to 1926, this classic cottage-style residence has been reimagined as a modern tree-house retreat. Filled with natural light, the home features a soaring glass library, a dramatic staircase, and a serene primary suite. Outside, an oversized, private garden oasis with fishpond, mature trees, outdoor kitchen, and fireplace creates a rare sense of seclusion in the city. Move-in ready or an inspiring canvas for a buyer with vision. Easy street parking. Just moments from the lakefront, Green City Market, and the best of Old Town.
