“From the screened-in back porch to the second-story front porch overlooking the street, to the sunroom, which makes a perfect work-from-home spot, to the darling breakfast nook — this home has so many special places,” says listing agent Phillip Murrell of 5701 Worth Street in Junius Heights. “It is dense with cuteness.”
If you’re familiar with the homes in Junius Heights, and along Worth Street in particular, you won’t be surprised to find that this week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters of First Horizon, in this storied locale is a well-loved architectural gem.
From the moment you enter you can tell this home is going to be something special. It has been fully updated, with meticulous attention to detail, which starts with this light, bright entryway, highlighting the gorgeous stained glass door. Due to a burst pipe in recent years, over $300K in renovations were completed, including plumbing, electrical, and new hardwoods — many of the important things you are concerned about when purchasing a 100-year-old home.
The living room is beautifully appointed with a French door entry from the foyer, extra-wide mouldings, and a stately fireplace with gorgeous tilework. The wraparound windows provide light and invite the lovely outdoors into the space.
This bonus sitting area is ideal for entertaining for an elegant evening, and flows into the lovely sunroom, which makes a perfect office or workroom with its ideal light and access to outdoors.
The floorplan flows perfectly for entertaining: the dining room has access through French doors to the living room, and opens to the kitchen for serving. The wraparound windows and statement light fixture provide an elegant ambience for mealtime.
The kitchen is definitely a showplace worthy of “heart of the home” designation.” The warm oak cabinetry and Vent-a-Hood complement the floors and pair perfectly with the stunning quartz countertops and waterfall island. And let’s talk about that tile backsplash! Bold and full of personality, the kitchen design is a marvelous backdrop for top-tier appliances and fixtures.
The primary suite is all you could hope it would be, surrounded by windows and wrapped in luxury. The primary closet has been specially designed to open to a private utility room for convenience, while the primary bath is designed for indulgence with an over-sized frameless glass shower and double vanity.
The secondary bedrooms are generously sized — and each has a bathroom with a claw-footed tub! Including the bedroom currently in use as a nursery, which (swoon!) has a baby claw-footed tub! Could you die?
The pristine enclosed back porch provides a quaint outdoor haven away from the elements with an old-fashioned feel. And the expansive backyard has a wide paved area for outdoor entertaining as well as plenty of room for gardening, playing, pets, and more.
