Stunning one of a kind Tudor in the heart of Glencairn with superb original detailing throughout the home. Built in 1929 faithful to the Tudor revival the home features steeply pitched roofs, romantic dormered windows with leaded glass, ornamental plaster cornices and ceilings, thick masonry walls, and extensive formal grounds. The current owners have maintained and enhanced the home with complete dedication to the style. They carefully restored much of the decorative plaster which features the Tudor Rose and the Fleur de Lis and reroofed the house and restored the chimneys in the original style. Outdoors they added a waterfall and pond, landscape lighting, a gazebo and multiple flagstone pathways. Over 1000 tulips line the front walkway. Its magical! See virtual tour under photos tab! The classic entrance features a small vestibule with a coat closet and access to the guest bath which has an art deco feel. The focal point of the foyer is the slate floor and the spectacular staircase with gently curving handrails. A bank of rectangular leaded glass windows on the second floor landing make the foyer a perfect spot for treasured art! The formal living room is anchored by a carved limestone fireplace. A cozy first floor den with rich wall paneling and plastered coffered ceiling is the families TV room. French doors open off the foyer to the formal dining room, which overlooks the grounds and extensive paneling. The butlers pantry has a wall of cabinetry and is now home to a small in home office area. The kitchen has a large island, newer granite countertops and new flooring. The main staircase leads to the master and 2 other bedrooms. A second staircase, off the kitchen, was access for the 2 additional bedrooms and bath, formerly for staff, would make a great nanny suite or teenager area.! The master is lovely and serene with a completely remodeled bath. Like the other 4 bathrooms, it has new plumbing. electrical outlets and a heated floor. The owners were careful to use ceramic tiling of the 1920s, repeating the basket weave from the original tub surround, but adding a 21st century shower head. Each of the other two bedrooms has an ensuite bath, again, fully remodeled in the past 5 years. The staff area of the house features 2 more bedrooms and a 4th full bath. Outside the owners launched a massive campaign to restore the gardens and grounds to their former glory! Intent on recreating an exterior befitting of the elegant home and interior, they added irrigation, landscape lighting, a new front porch and walkway, a pond with waterfall, and a gazebo from which to enjoy it all on summer days. Take a tour of this home and experience the craftsmanship and period detailing. The owners gladly and sadly pass on this home to its next fortunate owner!
