Stunning Fully Furnished Colonial Revival house for sale. This meticulously designed, move-in ready home is a perfect blend of comfort and style. Nestled in a prime location, this property boasts spacious living areas, elegant finishes, and high-end furnishings throughout. Built in 1901, the craftsmanship, detail, beauty, and grace of this house speak to an age when building a home was truly a work of art. Porch: Expansive porch extends along the front and wraps around to the east side entrance of the house. The lovely porch swing was apparently a very early fixture placed to take advantage of the prevailing breeze on those hot summer days. Foyer: Handsome front doors with beveled glass window is the introduction to a house filled with many examples of turn of the century craftmanship. An unusual foyer fireplace is sure to be a welcome sight to guest on a cold winter evening. Rich wood tones can be seen in the combination oak and pine staircase and built in seats. Let's move ahead through the double doors to the Music room. Music Room: Large picture window typifies the period of architectural transition of the early twentieth century. The Steinway piano in the center of the room is an early player piano made in 1923, of which very few of these were produced. The chandelier was converted from a candelabra made in Czechoslovakia and the Persian rug is a Sarouk. Let's continue through the doors to the living room. Living Room: Notice should be given to the arched cupboards in the corners once contained four such cabinets filled with exotic artifacts. Two of these cabinets have been uncovered and artfully reconstructed. Two more remain hidden in the other corners. 87" flat screen TV with two sitting areas is perfect for a movie night. Traveling through the room to the right is the entrance to the library. Library: Bookcases, window seat and other woodwork are made of solid ribbon mahogany. The walls are covered with silk brocade purchased in China during a trip in 1921. This 100-year-old silk was applied by upholstering it to the walls. Library has collection of 1,500 books. Through the swinging doors is the butler's pantry and to the kitchen. Butler's Pantry: Generous cupboards line the butler's pantry fill with China, serving pieces and glassware. Continue to the right is to the kitchen and left to the study room. Kitchen: Open-concept kitchen is an entertainer's dream boasting high-end stainless-steel appliances, full array of cooking equipment, spacious island and dining table big enough to seat 10 people. Through the swinging doors is the study room. Study Room: Beautiful woodwork representing architectural features line the formal dining room. Turn of the century craftmanship can be seen in every detail. Some classical detailing can be seen in the ionic columns, the chair rail, and paneling and dentil molding at the ceiling. The large desk is very old and is a fine example of the Biedermeier style. The Persian rug is a Tabriz.
