Audubon Victorian Cottage

Equal parts bohemian and English proper, this Victorian home near Audubon Park seamlessly blends two distinct aesthetics for a young family who appreciate both classic elegance and spirited expression. The dramatic center hall gives way to a tailored wood-paneled study, establishing a rhythm of contrast that continues throughout.

A reconfigured lower level—including a primary suite, additional bedroom and bath, and a beautifully detailed utility hall—implements meticulous space planning where every half-inch counted. The primary suite centers on a light-filled wet room with brass shower enclosure, freestanding tub, and a bespoke mahogany vanity whose curves nod to romantic detailing, while new windows frame views of the property's tropical surroundings. Tessellated tile, calacatta viola marble, fixtures with feminine lines, and vibrant wallcoverings layer in historic refinement and bohemian spirit, creating bold, unique spaces that are as carefully planned as they are full of personality—rooms designed for luxurious rest, joyful living, and memorable entertaining.
