Curioso Antiques & Uniquities
A Beaverdale house quietly converted into an antiques-and-oddities shop where owners Matt and Shawna lean into gothic, art deco, and European Renaissance curios. Per Axios, it's a residential home reimagined as a curated cabinet of odd and artistic finds rather than a typical mall booth.
The move: Go on a Friday or Saturday afternoon (12-5) and roam the rooms of the converted house picking out the single strangest object you'd each actually live with, then debate it over coffee nearby in Beaverdale.
