This beautiful, rare double-home gem was built in 1885 for Cornelius Riley, with Abraham Radcliffe as architect and John Riley as builder and developer. Radcliffe, who designed several homes in the historic Cathedral Hill area, was strongly influenced by his office proteges Cass Gilbert and Clarence Johnston. From the top of the newly renovated turret to the welcoming open front porch, this home radiates timeless charm and original detail. Inside, soaring 11-foot ceilings and architecturally unique spaces set the tone. The main level includes a library with built-in bookshelves and exposed brick, as well as a thoughtfully updated kitchen with brand-new appliances and a spacious pantry. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms, including a serene primary suite, and a large laundry room that doubles as a fitness space. The top floor features a cozy family room, two additional bedrooms, and a three-quarter bath—offering flexibility for guests or work-from-home needs. Following a 2022 fire, the home underwent a remarkable $500k+ restoration. The front rooms on all three levels were rebuilt down to the studs with updated wiring, a new breaker box, insulation, sheetrock, Anderson windows, and new/refinished flooring. The turret’s exterior was fully reconstructed with durable composite materials. Major upgrades also include a new roof, furnace, air conditioning, all new kitchen appliances, and new marble countertops ensuring comfort and peace of mind. An attached two-car garage adds modern convenience, while the home’s location in the heart of Cathedral Hill places you within walking distance of acclaimed restaurants, shops, and parks. With its blend of historic pedigree, architectural character, and extensive modern updates, this one-of-a-kind home is truly move-in ready.
