Step into the Gilded Age with this Magnificent 19th-Century Mansion – First Time Offered in Nearly 100 Years As you step into the colorfully tiled and painted vestibule and through the exquisite stained glass doors, you are welcomed into a home with museum quality aesthetics at every turn. Gallery style hallways are perfect for showcasing art. Each room has intricate plastered details, stately woodwork, and beautiful parquet floors, all under soaring 11 foot ceilings. The formal parlor (14 x 25) with gas fireplace, is an ideal place for refined gatherings. Etched glass pocket doors separate the formal parlor from the music salon. The music salon with its plaster instruments that adorn the ceiling can be a great modern media room. Across the main hall opposite the parlor, you’ll find a formal dining room that features ceiling murals, a bay window, and original Lyncrusta wall covering. From there you walk through a butler’s pantry into EIK (also accessible from the main hall) with rose pink, lime green, and white tiles that make for a cheerful space for preparing meals while two large windows provide a grand view of a serene private garden oasis. Original, antique chandeliers, in addition to recessed and directional lights, provide abundant illumination throughout the home, making every corner bright and welcoming. Classic wavy-glass windows cast unique ripple patterns as sunlight floods this south-facing beauty. The second floor has 5 BRs (2 spacious and 3 cozy), offering potential for a second bathroom. The home office is also bright and cheerful. The original main bathroom is magical, transporting you to a tranquil estuary scene teeming with wild life. Float in the clawfoot tub big enough for 2 beneath an eye-pleasing, swan stained glass window. A full-finished attic space offers additional opportunities to create the primary suite of your dreams or amazing game room for the family. Don’t miss the secret stairs to the tower! Outside, from the front lemonade porch you can appreciate formal gardens under 100 year old sycamore trees, or retreat to the backyard’s stone patio. Surrounded by sculpted gardens of flowering trees, shrubs and perennials. At the rear of the (58 x 204) property stands a fully restored, 5-bay carriage house with a stunning 2 BR apartment. Gorgeous pine plank floors and 18 ft ceilings make a dramatic statement in the main, open living area. The apartment is equipped with a brand new kitchen, quartz counters, stainless appliances, central AC/heat, washer/dryer, and storage. 4 garage spaces offer much sought-after off-street parking that can also be a source of additional income. Additional amenities include a full basement with 9 ft ceilings, new hot water tank, new oil heat system, and a recent slate roof. Don’t miss this once-in-a-century opportunity to own a true architectural masterpiece. Make this stately home yours today.
