About This Property

Privately set on nearly half an acre in historic Bankers Hill, 3252 Front Street pairs 1939 Colonial Revival charm with modern luxury and rare privacy. Behind iron electronic gates, a driveway for up to five vehicles leads to a secluded canyon retreat within feet of the iconic Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, with no neighboring homes in sight. Landscaped grounds include walking paths, seating areas beneath mature pines, and a children's playground, and the rear gate opens directly onto a hiking trail in Banker's Hill Canyon Open Space. Inside, an elegant staircase, statement chandeliers, and a fireplace mantel crafted from old railroad track showcase the home's character. Modern comforts include a 30-camera security system, sensor-operated Moen bidets with heated seats, Google Nest thermostats, and updated HVAC. The kitchen features an oversized island with pot filler, a classic wet bar, a bay seating lounge, and premium ZLINE appliances. Approximately 3,122 square feet with four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a downstairs office or guest room, built-in bookcases, and a basement for storage. Outdoors, enjoy a swimming pool, fully equipped home gym, sauna, and cold plunge, ideal for wellness and entertaining. Owned solar with Tesla Powerwall, an EV charger, tankless water heater, and a two-car garage with lift complete the package. Arhaus furnishings are available for negotiation.
