This Italian Renaissance style home stands the test of time with its beauty. Originally built by McKay for the Howard Cherry family, this architectural treasure features a grand center hall entry, an elegant open staircase, and the finest quarter sawn wood floors, volume ceilings, detailed moldings, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Recent enhancements include a new 3-stall garage addition, expanding the capacity to a 6-car garage, a fully remodeled kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and finishes, and a luxurious primary bedroom and bathroom remodel. The 2nd floor now boasts a convenient laundry area and a beautifully updated secondary bathroom. Historic features such as the original lead glass transom designed by Grant Wood and a spacious dining room with custom built-in cabinetry add to the home's charm. The great room, with its oversized fireplace and cozy conversation areas, the office with French doors leading to the great lawn, and the additional spaces including a butler’s pantry, eat-in kitchen, library, and sunroom offer a perfect blend of historic charm and modern functionality. The large primary suite includes a second office or sitting room and an updated master bath with a walk-in closet. This beautifully maintained home is an entertainer’s dream, blending historical significance with contemporary luxury.
