About S 27 5th Street
Level. The foundation of life. Every brick connected with experience, solidly built upon lifetimes of integrity, truth, and the belief in meaning. The floors are perfectly flat, the foundation steady in the way only timeless work can endure. The preserved plaster walls have provided warmth in winter and coolness in summer for over a hundred years. This is my childhood home. Its strength has become a metaphor for what it means to be a good human. The home changed me, and with its lessons, I changed the home. I made it smarter and voice-controlled, designed zero-entry thresholds, and restored it with intention, care, and respect. As I enter the next step of my life, I’m searching for a new steward. Although historic, the home’s infrastructure is entirely renewed: all-new electrical and plumbing, Lutron Caséta smart lighting, natural gas, on-demand hot water, and a new HVAC system. There is a new driveway, fresh paint, and careful improvements honoring its original craftsmanship. With all of the core work complete, the kitchen and baths are a blank canvas, ready for your own design. All major systems are in place. Set just ½ block off Centre Street, the home offers walkable access to cafés, shops, and the waterfront. The property is zoned C-3, allowing versatile use for residential living, café, boutique, salon, or professional office. Restored from the inside out, it’s ready for its next chapter. This lovely home holds its place in history, awaiting a new life, a new story, and the moments yet to be lived within its walls.
