Built in 1915

Built in 1915 by Ida Studebaker & Louis Kuhns of the Studebaker Company, this Greek Colonial Revival home by Midwest architects Austin and Schambleau seamlessly combines historic charm with modern updates. Thoughtfully preserved, the home maintains its historic integrity while incorporating contemporary features to meet today’s needs. The grand foyer, with a sweeping staircase, leads to a series of light-filled, spacious rooms that retain their original character. A beautifully designed vestibule, featuring a marble floor, leaded glass sidelights, and an internal valet door, adds a touch of elegance to the entry. The formal living spaces include a living room with built-in bookcases, a study featuring an original safe, and a dining room adorned with a ceiling painting by Italian artist Cesare Maccari. The sunroom, complete with a limestone fireplace, thermal pane windows, and original porcelain tile floors, offers a comfortable retreat within the home. The kitchen, remodeled by renowned designer Mick De Giulio, features custom cabinetry with mirrored and walnut interiors, hidden spice storage, and a swing-up platform for mixers. It includes a LaCanche 7-burner range, SubZero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf steam oven, built-in microwave, and a commercial-grade exhaust hood. The breakfast nook has a built-in banquette with storage underneath, and the pantry is equipped with a SubZero wine fridge, docking drawer, and power strips. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a newly remodeled bathroom with a freestanding Kohler Memoirs tub, a separate tiled shower, and custom Ayr cabinetry. Two additional bedrooms, each with Visual Comfort lighting, share a guest bathroom that combines vintage charm with modern Kohler fixtures. On the third level, you'll find an additional suite or craft room, complete with a newly remodeled bath and updated window inserts. While the upper levels offer a perfect mix of luxury and comfort, the basement provides functional living space with a full laundry room, workout area, office, and ample storage. Recent updates to the exterior include restored balustrades and meticulously tuckpointed chimneys, preserving the home’s historic integrity while enhancing durability. Located on the highly sought-after Jefferson Boulevard, the neighborhood’s inviting atmosphere, paired with its proximity to local amenities, further adds to the home's appeal and enhances the overall living experience.
