About 1706 Englewood Avenue

Tucked into the storied streets of historic Walltown, this 2021 Quality One Contracting build feels like a modern secret hiding in an old neighborhood's bones. Step inside and the main level unfolds in one graceful, open-concept sweep, built for both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. The kitchen is the heart's heartbeat, a waterfall granite island anchoring the space, paired with a 6-burner gas cooktop ready for anything from a Tuesday stir-fry to a full dinner-party production. A 2022 expansion added a four-season conditioned screened room warmed by a linear gas fireplace. The primary ensuite is a retreat unto itself, with a walk-in closet, separate water closet, double vanity and soaking tub made for slow unhurried evenings. The upstairs loft space can become whatever you need most, sunlit office, reading nook or cozy lounge. Outside, the fenced backyard is its own luxurious escape: a custom stone seating wall curls around an expansive gas fire pit, a built-in cooler keeps things chilled and low-maintenance turf glows under landscape lighting once the sun goes down. Just beyond, the built-in grill sets the stage for backyard feasts, while a second-floor deck off the primary en-suite offers a private perch above it all. The outdoor three-story spiral staircase turns a simple trip into a small adventure. And this home doesn't just look amazing, it thinks ahead. Solar panels with battery backup, attached 2 car garage with EV charger, tankless water heater and full home security system mean beauty here comes with brains, too. Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest: Joe Van Gogh and The Loop are just around the corner while Duke's East Campus, buzzing 9th Street, Monuts and Whole Foods are all a short stroll away. It's the rare find where charm and modern indulgence share the same address.
