A deep corner lot one block off the park provides the ideal setting for this lofty Georgian home, built in 1927. The entrance is enhanced by original wood doors with antique brass hardware, dentil molding, and columnettes.Crown molding and hard wood floors gleam across the formal foyers, living and dining rooms.
The first and second foyers create a graceful welcome, drawing the eye across to the French doors accessing the garden. Two coat closets and a powder room are found along the way.
The dining room is topped with a brass chandelier hanging from a beaded plaster medallion.
A handsome wet bar off the dining room contains wood display cabinets, ample counter space and a deep sink.
The living room is anchored by a fireplace and original marble mantle with ornate classical accents. Windows offer picturesque views of oak-lined Audubon Street at one end and the patio at the other.
An adjoining brick-walled sun porch is cheerfully appointed with a harlequin tile floor, panoramic garden views and French doors opening to the yard beyond.
The kitchen boasts granite counters and a large granite top island, an expanse of custom pickled cabinets, and tile floors which continue through to a comfortable den.
