About This Home
As of June 2014A historic Gothic Revival residence nestled on over an acre of prime land in one of the Highlands' most desirable areas. The depth of this lot lends an unusual seclusion for a spot so close to transportation, shops, & urban amenities. The natural setting of the house offers privacy and comfort, while the layout provides an easy flow for entertaining family & friends. A grand hand-wrought, copper-clad, oval-domed ceiling crowns the welcoming foyer and stairwell, and the public rooms feel spacious and bright, reflecting the oversized windows and southern exposure. Period details abound, with curved walls and arched doorways, hardwood flooring, a variety of fireplaces -- marble, wood, even brick -- and built-ins galore. The Gothic motif is most evident in the carved wooden moldings of the MBR. This presents a rare opportunity for a person, who welcomes the challenge of mixing modern comfort with traditional style, to bring this slightly-tired dowager back as the belle-of-the-ball.
