With an exterior dreamy enough to grace the pages of a storybook, this East Walnut Hills home possesses so much English-cottage charm you might think you’ve been transported across the pond. On this 5-bed, 6-bath home, traditional characteristics like stone and stucco pair with a thatched-style roof and immaculate landscaping to create curb appeal that’s in a league of its own.

Built in 1918, the home has been lovingly maintained by its current owners, and they’ve enhanced it with tasteful renovations geared towards modern comfort. Its warmth is made evident by their bittersweet parting with the home. “We care deeply about this home,” says owner William Tobler, who sold their home through local startup HomeShake. “All of our kids were born here and took their first steps here. It’s where we hunkered down during COVID. The memories are very special and will stay with us forever.”

The elegance of 2 Beechcrest can be felt as soon as you enter the front door. Shining hardwoods, crown molding, built-ins, and wainscoting speak to its timelessness, as well as the quality of construction—a true testament of endurance for more than 100 years. Its layout is traditional—each room has a dedicated purpose. The result is cozy and welcoming, even with a footprint that spreads across an impressive 4,900 square feet and three floors. “It’s a very comfortable home,” Tobler says, “there’s so much charm and homey-ness.”

For the future owners, there’s plenty of flexibility for making the spaces their own. The third floor—with its full bed and bath, plus recreation space—offers endless possibilities for configurations ranging from a home theater and playroom to an in-law suite or home office. Each of the five bedrooms are spacious and filled with light. Plus, the primary suite has the brilliant addition of a washer and dryer in the walk-in closet for a whole new level of convenience. Two of the six bathrooms have been completely remodeled to include attractive tilework that is complemented by on-trend hardware.

The home sits on over half an acre, with a large front yard and mature trees. There’s a sense of serenity, even though it’s less than ten minutes to downtown. As Tobler notes, “Once you turn onto the street, all the noise falls away. Beech Crest Lane is one of the most beautiful streets in the city.” As the day slows down, and its finally time to sit and unwind, the back patio beckons. A large, stone firepit offers the perfect spot for cozy, quiet chats, while the outdoor bar can easily accommodate summertime soirees and family cookouts alike.
