Welcome to 96 Highgate Avenue – An Enchanting and Spacious Home in a Prime Location!

Located in the desirable University Heights neighborhood on a lovely tree-lined street, this beautifully renovated all-brick single-family home blends classic charm with modern convenience.

Featuring 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, plus 2 additional finished bedrooms in the attic, this spacious property offers flexibility and room for everyone.

The elegant entry opens to a large living room with a stone fireplace—usable as wood-burning or gas—flanked by built-in bookcases with crystal-knobbed cabinets. Off the entry hall, the wainscoted formal dining room includes louvered folding doors, another bookcase, and access to a stone patio, perfect for entertaining.

The brand-new kitchen is a showstopper, featuring quartz countertops, designer wood-mode cabinets, self-closing drawers, premium stainless-steel appliances, and modern lighting. Hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by updated fixtures, windows, outlets, and switches. A stylish new half bath completes the first floor.

The finished attic adds two more bedrooms—ideal for guests, an office, or extra living space. A full, dry basement with solid mechanics provides excellent storage and potential for expansion.
