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.
