This 1883 Italianate house was a labor of love. As Mark’s first property, he started renovating it in 2008, while still in school studying historic preservation. The house was completed in 2010, but continues to evolve to this day with one stunning detail after another.

Jerry’s Jug House

Jerry’s Jug House has been a neighborhood bar for over 80 years.

306 Park Avenue

This little house, tucked away behind Newport street foliage, just needed some attention. We could see potential under those piles of trash and years of neglect. Completed in 2013, it was the first renovation project we tackled. This bungalow, constructed in 1923, is young compared to many of its Mansion Hill neighbors. But even so, … More 306 Park Avenue
