919 Redan: $1,799,000

The original 1925 structure featured triple-clipped gables—distinctive enough on their own. But with the renovation, two more clipped gables were added, giving the façade a layered, petal-like effect you won’t forget. The full-width porch with corner brick pillars adds presence, but this isn’t your typical Craftsman. Whatever it is, it’s not shy about it—and the result is both bold and beautifully balanced.

At first glance, you might think: oh good, another new construction with white-on-white décor—perfect for customizing but kind of a snooze. Not this one. Here, the details do all the talking. From light taupe walls (where the wallpaper stops) to wood beam accents, an arched entry to the primary bath, and kitchen backsplash tile that’s refreshingly not subway, it’s full of thoughtful touches. And the primary closet? It has my name all over it.
