516 Olive Street

Buttery hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and natural light give this updated Victorian its unmistakable character. An elevated, custom renovation brings clarity and refinement to the original architecture, pairing sculptural millwork, reclaimed elements, and exposed brick with carefully chosen details throughout. Living and dining spaces connect fluidly, comfortable for everyday life yet generous when entertaining. The kitchen reflects the same level of intention, with quartzite and soapstone countertops, well-appointed cabinetry, tailored brass hardware, walk in pantry storage, and a high-end appliance suite chosen for beauty and performance. Both full baths are equally well considered, featuring elevated fixtures, curated tile selection, and finely detailed hardware. An exquisite lighting collection adds warmth throughout, while custom Marvin windows frame leafy neighborhood views along historic Olive Street. Outdoor living is an extension of the home itself, including an inviting wrap around front porch and two spacious rear decks overlooking a rare double lot. A front entry garage and ample off-street parking provide everyday ease, while the full, unfinished basement offers expansive storage capacity. Recent updates to major systems and the roof add confidence, with a long-term tax freeze providing welcome financial ease. This polished home is located in downtown’s Upper East Side neighborhood of Pendleton Heights, a historic district known for its character, walkability, and strong sense of community.
