About This Home
As of February 2016One of the finest homes ever built in Montgomery, this architecturally significant home known as the Rice house was designed in 1927 by Frank Lockwood and beautifully restored by present owner in 1999 to its original glory. Constructed with the finest of materials-cypress hand planed timbers, oak hardwood floors, slate and copper roof, 3 fireplaces with original material-limestone, cypress beams and 3 different herringbone designs. One of many features this home offers is the ample amount of windows throughout the house and lets one enjoy all the view the property has to offer. The windows are original cypress with copper interior screens so you can enjoy the breeze. This home is perfect for entertaining with its large welcoming foyer, spacious living room, formal dining room and take it outside to the slate patio. The kitchen's beadboard island with butcher-block pull outs, marble countertop and the original cast iron sink preserve the integrity of the era. Enjoy casual meals in the breakfast room with 2 sets of china cabinets with leaded glass door. The grand stairwell takes you to the large 2nd floor landing with ample storage and the private living area. The master bedroom has 2 of the 3 fireplaces, a balcony, his and her closets and joins the smallest bedroom (currently used as a study) but would be ideal for a nursery. The stucco exterior with slate roof, copper details, cypress and redwood beams gives this home a stately presence. The current owner has been an excellent steward of this magnificent estate. Price to sell, this is a perfect opportunity to own a truly unique property. If school zones are important, purchaser please verify.
