Property Description

Step into a world of classic sophistication and architectural grandeur with this stunning 6-bedroom Mediterranean home, originally built in 1909 and thoughtfully updated to preserve its old-world elegance. Set on a generously .83 acre landscaped property, this approx. 5100 sq ft residence is a rare blend of historic detail and modern living. From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by a sweeping staircase, rich wood floors, and the first of five fireplaces—each a centerpiece in its own right. The heart of the home boasts a conservatory filled with natural light, ideal for morning coffee, entertaining, or simply soaking in the serene surroundings. French doors off the living room open to a charming veranda, perfect for al fresco evenings or weekend brunches. The kitchen, uniquely outfitted with antique pharmaceutical cabinets, a LaCanche stove and German silver sink balances vintage character with practical function. Upstairs, the oversized landing offers a dramatic focal point, surrounded by bedrooms and private spaces. An exceptional media room offering a projection TV and bookcases throughout offers a unique space to be enjoyed by all. Each room is filled with light and history. A detached two-car garage is topped by an approximately 800 square-foot caretaker’s apartment (not included in sf) featuring two bedrooms and a full bath. A terraced outdoor living space leads to a sparkling 20’ by 40’ heated pool with a black opal liner, ideal for both gatherings and quiet relaxation. A park-like setting on nearly an acre of beautifully manicured gardens including blooming perennials, shrubs and trees provides privacy and all season enjoyment. Architectural details prevail throughout, from arched windows to hand-carved moldings, and a beautifully restored Ludowici terra cotta roof. This is more than a home; it’s a rare legacy property where history, character, and comfort converge.
