Built in 1909 and completely renovated in 2020, this all-brick home perfectly blends historic character with the modern amenities and technology of today. Step inside to a completely open floor plan featuring beautiful solid oak floors and soaring 10-foot ceilings. The main level flows seamlessly from the living room to the dining area and kitchen, with a convenient half bath and bright sunroom providing even more living space.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet featuring custom shelving, dual vanities, and the ultimate convenience—laundry right in the primary bath!
The finished walkout lower level adds impressive versatility with a spacious bonus room, full bath, and recreation/living area—perfect for guests, a home office, gym, hobby space, or additional everyday living space.
What truly sets this home apart is the incredible investment in smart-home technology, energy efficiency, comfort, and convenience. The extensive 51-panel solar power system goes beyond solar alone, with an impressive 40 kWh of battery storage for added energy independence and peace of mind. Two Span smart electrical panels allow for app-based energy monitoring. Dual HVAC systems with Nest thermostats provide zoned comfort, while smart lighting and fans, an Arlo security system with nine cameras and video doorbell, whole-house water softener and filtration, and a sophisticated sump pump system with battery backup and smart monitoring add another level of convenience and peace of mind. The kitchen continues the upgrades with reverse-osmosis water filtration with UV sanitizing, a pot filler, Samsung smart refrigerator, premium dishwasher, gas range, and built-in microwave.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard and gated driveway lead to an oversized 2-car garage equipped with two smart EV chargers, plus an additional oversized 2-car carport. And the location is just as impressive—near the Delmar Loop, The Pageant, shops, restaurants, entertainment, and Forest Park.
Historic architecture, a complete modern renovation, incredible smart-home and energy upgrades that offer significant homeowner savings, flexible living space, and a fantastic location— 6007 Cates offers a combination you simply don’t find every day. Added bonus: the property’s existing tax abatement is transferable to the new owner through November 13, 2029, offering exceptionally low property taxes during the remaining abatement period.
