The home

About this home

Stepping onto the grounds, it becomes immediately clear that they simply do not make homes like this anymore. This magnificent 1897 Victorian mansion, recently painted in a crisp white exterior, stands as a remarkable testament to an era of unmatched craftsmanship. Yet, for all its grand presence, it remains a well-kept secret. The entry is so subtle off the paved road that a passerby would never know a property this grand is tucked away here. The paved circular driveway gently guides you onto the property leading directly under a porte-cochère—a covered carriage entrance. A 2 car garage offers an oil change pit and chimney. Inside, the home features a formal parlor, a drawing room, and a grand dining room, all connected by a fully functional and original pocket door and a magnificent wooden archway. The parlor is flooded with natural light from a bay window topped with intricate leaded-glass transoms. High overhead, original crown moulding frames the expansive ceilings, while beneath the current carpeting lies a great bonus: wooden floors waiting to be uncovered. Adding to the opportunity, select furnishings within the home are negotiable, allowing a buyer to potentially preserve some of the property's curated aesthetic. Beyond the formal dining lies a breathtaking library, wrapped in exquisite wood paneling and wainscoting, and anchored by a dramatic coffered ceiling. There are built-in bookshelves and a cozy window seat framed with stained-glass. You will find an impressive five fireplaces in total. 3 of these hearths have been thoughtfully retrofitted with propane. The remaining focal points feature spectacular, hand-carved mantels, anchored by exquisite, hand-painted Delft tiles that showcase classic, finely detailed scenes of Dutch windmills, and figures ice skating—a highly sought-after luxury element in late 19th-century homes that remains preserved here. Spanning 3 levels into a finished high-ceiling attic! Room for everyone here, schedule a private tour.
