Modern History Villa

It is hard to believe this charming central-city villa was a story of the ugly duckling who became the elegant swan.  

In a partnership between Craftbuilt and Paragon Developments this villa was carefully and expertly renovated to restore its heritage appearance. Every item of exterior character carefully remade from fretwork, corbels, balusters, finials and more to preserve the essence of the property. A truly remarkable transformation bringing the old lady into the modern world.
