Property Description
Welcome to 523 Gervais Street — history, elegance & downtown energy converge. Step into this one-of-a-kind historic townhouse nestled in the heart of The Vista district, where urban living meets architectural character. Built in 1860 and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home features soaring 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and rich Brazilian cherry hardwoods that merge old-world detail with modern comfort. The main level welcomes you with dramatic 12-foot ceilings and exposed brick, creating a striking living room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. The gourmet kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops, gas cooktop, wet bar and wine refrigerator — perfect for entertaining. A spacious dining area flows seamlessly into the living zone, offering an ideal setup for both casual and formal gatherings. Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with a walk-in closet, double granite vanity, separate water closet and an oversized shower. The second bedroom features elegant subway tile in the tub/shower and a granite vanity. Upstairs you'll also find true antique reclaimed heart-pine floors adding warmth and character. A versatile third-floor loft can serve as a guest suite, home office or fitness area — the perfect flexible space. Located just steps away from the vibrant restaurants, galleries and nightlife of The Vista, yet tucked into a secure, boutique-townhouse setting. Walkable to the riverfront, local galleries and urban amenities — enjoy downtown life at its best. The property benefits from the historic “Bailey Bill” tax reduction, keeping annual taxes remarkably low for such a downtown gem.
