449 Portland Avenue 3

A hidden gem in the heart of historic Ramsey Hill! This romantic carriage house offers a rare combination of architectural character, sophisticated design, and wonderfully easy living. Built in 2006 with exceptional attention to detail, the light-filled home offers more than 2,100 finished square feet with two bedrooms, two baths, and an attached heated garage.

Gorgeous woodwork, embellished crown moulding, whimsical iron railings, and rich architectural details reveal thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. A gas fireplace with carved mantel and stone hearth anchors the living room, while French doors open to a charming Juliet balcony. The dining room, illuminated by a beautiful art glass chandelier, is especially memorable.

Outside, lovely landscaping and a paved patio offer an inviting place to dine, garden, or simply enjoy the seasons. Additional storage and low-maintenance living make the home as practical as it is beautiful.

Part of the intimate, three-unit, self-managed Cass Gilbert Association, this is a distinctive Ramsey Hill property offering privacy, convenience, and a sense of place that is increasingly hard to find. Romantic, refined, a little whimsical, and remarkably livable.
