Blending European flair with Leola Hall’s timeless craftsmanship, this 1916 Elmwood residence is a striking example of architectural refinement. Its classic exterior honors historic integrity, while the interiors are reimagined for modern living, balancing comfort, efficiency, and timeless style. A light-filled, open layout flows seamlessly from a chef’s kitchen with precision cabinetry and exceptional appliances to spacious living spaces that extend naturally to landscaped gardens. Custom built-ins and integrated storage enhance the clean, minimalist aesthetic, while spa-inspired baths, elevated ceilings, and finely detailed finishes elevate daily life. Perfectly located just steps from College Avenue and the Claremont Resort, this exceptional home is a rare blend of heritage and contemporary design in one of Elmwood’s premier settings.
