Preserved Victorian Character with Modern Comfort on Millionaires’ Row

Built for the Plass family in the late 1890s, 3248 Copelin Avenue stands along the Compton Heights street once known as “Millionaires’ Row.” The Victorian residence retains an exceptional collection of original details, including hardwood floors, pocket doors, etched-glass windows and transoms, restored brass hardware, six tile fireplaces, and much of its original lighting. The foyer features decorative hand-painted walls, a treatment that continues into the living room and along the stairwell. Original pocket doors connect the living and dining rooms, while the dining room has its own fireplace and a curved bay of windows. The freshly painted kitchen opens directly to the rear patio, and a marble-clad powder room completes the main level. A striking curved bay of original stained glass illuminates the grand staircase. Above, a ceiling mural by local artist Mark Sova draws on historic Bradbury & Bradbury designs. The second floor offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a moody den decorated with hand-painted chinoiserie. Spanning the entire third floor, the spacious, light-filled primary suite includes an expansive walk-through closet and a bath with heated floors and a steam shower. Set on an impressive corner lot, the property also offers a fenced yard, an inviting garden sitting area, and an oversized two-car garage. This remarkable home pairs its preserved Victorian character with thoughtfully incorporated modern comforts.
