Welcome to 2126 Hanover — a rare gem in the heart of the Historic Fan District. Perfectly situated on the corner of Shields and Hanover, this fully detached home overflows with natural light. Brimming with historic charm, this nearly 3,000-square-foot home offers an unparalleled opportunity to create the home of your dreams while preserving the timeless architectural details that define the Fan. Original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings and intricate moldings, fill the home with elegance. The inviting deep front porch, charming ironwork, and elegant vestibule create undeniable curb appeal. Inside, the gracious entryway opens to the living room with original pocket doors, leading seamlessly into the spacious dining and family rooms — perfect for entertaining on any scale. A renovated powder room off the living room connects to the kitchen, where an inspired renovation could transform the rear of the home. The generous footprint easily accommodates endless cabinetry, an oversized island with seating, and commercial-grade appliances. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, trunk room, a hall bath, and laundry room. The layout offers flexibility: the trunk room and hall closet create the ideal space for a primary bath, or you could reimagine the second bedroom adjacent to the primary as a luxurious ensuite bath and dressing room/closet. The unfinished basement provides excellent storage. Out back, owners use the space for off-street parking, but it could easily be transformed into a courtyard — or add a rolling gate for the best of both worlds. Whether you choose to keep its historic soul or reimagine it with a few upgrades, the possibilities are endless. Don’t miss your chance to live on one of the Fan’s most celebrated blocks (especially at Halloween!), with walkable access to neighborhood favorites like Joe’s Inn, Shields Market, the Shops of Strawberry Street and Fox Elementary (opening in the Fall). Homes on this block have sold for $1.3M and higher — an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
