205 Strawberry Street

Welcome to 205 Strawberry Street, a bright, classic Fan rowhouse in one of the best locations that this neighborhood has to offer, mere steps from Joe’s Inn, Shields Market, and the favorite shops on Strawberry Street. Home to the celebrated photographer and painter Willie Anne Wright, this well-loved family abode was also her creative hub, and is being offered to the market for the first time in decades. Notable for its distinctive roof turret, 205 Strawberry Street boasts a handsome brick exterior, and over 2400 sq. ft of airy, light-filled rooms. Lots of original features, including lofty ceilings, bay windows, front and rear staircases, pocket doors, fireplaces and delicate mouldings are all found throughout this two-story house. A wonderful sunroom addition with vaulted ceilings has expanded the kitchen’s footprint, while the living room and dining room to the front of the house offer lovely, formal spaces. Three nicely-sized bedrooms as well as lots of storage and a flexible, potential office space complete the second floor. A spacious basement with a cedar closet, and walls of built-storage add to this home’s potential. Outside, you’ll find a relaxing patio garden, with established perennials, hydrangeas and a lush fig tree, as well as a deck and a two-story side porch to take in the city breezes. This beloved home is a blank canvas awaiting its next artist! Please note, boiler (2006) that supplies all radiators is regularly serviced by Woodfin, along with the single zone heat-pump that provides additional heat and A/C for the first floor only. The second floor does not have central air, though floor vents in Bedroom Three and the Main Bathroom are in place. Electric water heater (2006). Main water line that connects to city water was replaced within the last 5 years, and the two-story side porch was also refreshed within the last 10 years.
