Welcome to Talavera, one of the most unique properties in the Fan. Talavera, built in 1838, has experienced many milestones over the years, including a reading of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, the Civil War and a grand remodel by local spice maven C.F. Sauer.

The architectural features are just as original as its history. Talavera was designed in the colonial revival style and still retains its stately detail. The first floor showcases parquet oak floors, elegant pocket doors, four fireplaces, and large windows creating a bright, open living space. Architectural details include plaster ceiling medallions, stained glass windows and exquisite Rococo-style plaster molding. The kitchen masterfully blends historic charm with modern luxury, featuring a brick fireplace, marble countertops, a Thermador cooktop and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.

Upstairs, original oak hardwood floors flow throughout, leading to a beautifully renovated primary suite complete with a sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and dressing room. The bathroom boasts radiant floor heating, a clawfoot tub, and a unique curved, wall-tiled shower that blends historic elegance with modern comfort adding a luxurious touch to this timeless home. In addition, there are three other bedrooms along with a full bathroom. The second floor also contains a laundry room for added convenience.

Outdoor living is the ticket at Talavera. The extra-large lot offers an outdoor living room, a pergola suited for dining and a firepit with seating. There is also plenty of green space for the avid gardener to play. Two off-street parking spaces add to the convenience of Fan living. Talavera is just three blocks from Fox Elementary School, reopening in Fall 2025.
