About 105 2 Street Sw
Nestled under a mature tree canopy, 105 2 Street SW immediately sets a tone of luxury, warmth, and timeless design. This executive multi-level Craftsman residence captivates before you even step inside, offering an exceptional sense of arrival framed by lush, beautiful landscaping. Sweeping hand-laid cobblestones form a custom driveway that leads gracefully past dense garden beds of hostas and blooming white hydrangeas, creating an unforgettable approach to the home. The exterior showcases classic Craftsman architecture at its finest, defined by rich slate-blue siding, crisp cream-colored trim, and exposed decorative roof brackets. Stone-clad piers support an inviting front portico with double glass-pane doors, while a second-story balcony with elegant wrought-iron railing adds depth and height to the facade. Built in 1912, this home blends original character and warmth with a complete restoration that brings modern living and efficiency across more than 4,000 square feet. Engineered hardwood floors span the main level, while the original hardwood on the staircase, upper hallway, and bedrooms has been beautifully refinished to preserve the home's historic craftsmanship. Handcrafted stained glass, original door knobs, an original grand staircase, formal living spaces, and detailed millwork further celebrate the home's timeless character. A welcoming foyer leads to a library and study lined with ornate custom cabinetry and a rolling ladder, an inviting family room that opens to the outdoor living space, a bright custom kitchen, powder room, formal dining room with built-in cabinetry, and a four-season sunroom overlooking the gardens. The staircases feature custom artisan handrails and banisters, with moulding lining the walls. Upstairs, the home continues to reveal its character with two generously sized bedrooms brightly lit with charming windows, a full bathroom, and a private primary suite complete with custom built-ins, a fireplace, dressing room with butler hooks, coffee and wet bar, in-suite laundry, handcrafted stained glass, a spa-inspired ensuite with heated floors, and a secluded deck overlooking the backyard gardens. The lower level offers a theatre room, home gym, full bathroom, generous storage, and utility space. A separate 960 sqft garden suite sits above the oversized heated double garage, providing a full second residence with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and accessible lift, ideal for guests, extended family, or independent living. Outside, textures layer with cream hydrangeas that frame the gardens, mature trees, cobblestone patios, an outdoor kitchen for effortless entertaining, and an impressive eight-foot stone fireplace that grounds evenings spent beneath the trees are not the only parts of what makes this outdoor space feel enchanting. A cozy screened-in porch seamlessly blends indoor comfort with the outdoors' serene, private surroundings. Homes like this are remembered by how they make you feel.
