Welcome to “Highgrove” at 216 Highland Ave, a truly exceptional Colonial Revival residence in the heart of the prestigious Sedgwick-Highland Preservation District. Originally built in 1905, this stately home has been masterfully restored and reimagined into a modern-day showpiece, seamlessly blending historic character with high-end updates. From the moment you arrive, the renewed front landscaping and timeless curb appeal set the tone.
