1531 S CARROLLTON AVE

Check out Virtual Renovations in the Photos! Presenting the Sully-Wormuth House, designed and built by renowned architect Thomas Sully in 1901 as his personal residence. This rare opportunity allows you to own a piece of architectural history, as Sully is renowned for iconic residences like The Columns, Sully Mansion, the Hennen Building, and many other grand Uptown homes.




The home's design primarily features the Queen Anne style with distinct Craftsman elements incorporated throughout. The exterior is notable for a band of diamond-patterned wood shingles, and the gables are decorated with half-timbering and stucco-surrounded windows—details typical of Sully's work.




Inside, the home offers gracious, high-ceilinged rooms. The large reception hall features a stunning staircase and stained glass. Original features have been preserved, including wood floors, stained glass windows, diamond-patterned leaded windows, unique fireplaces, and functional pocket doors. The dining room is enhanced by a large bay window with built-in seating. The front bedrooms upstairs provide sweeping views of the oak-lined Carrollton Avenue and the streetcar line.




The property has seen significant upgrades, including the meticulous replacement of the slate roof in 2007 and updated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. The rear yard includes a garage, the brick base of the original cistern (suitable for storage or a potting shed), and a mature citrus tree, with ample space remaining for the addition of a pool.




This is a fabulous opportunity to own an architecturally significant, historic home, allowing for cosmetic updates to truly make it your own.
