Some people consider their homes their sanctuaries, the place to escape from work. In Heather Hairston’s case, her two-level, Federal-style row house at 403 S. Robinson St. in Patterson Park reminds her of the office every day; it’s clear she loves it.

“My house was designed by an architect, my boss at traceARCHITECTS, Jim Shelter. It was fully renovated in 2000 by the Patterson Park Community Development Corporation,” Hairston said, and then proceeded to provide an in-depth list of all her home’s “great features.”
