A castle? Fully restored? YES! This 1920s home, designed by premier architect for his family, has been fully restored. Wind thru the grove of trees, up the newer concrete drive. Pass the turret, Juliet balcony, leaded glass and heavy wooden front door adorned with a sundial. The historic French Normandy mansion sits perched on a hill and 1/2+ acre stately grounds overlooking the quiet enclave of Watson Rd. Roped crown molding and twp curved gas fireplaces are a few of the architectural details. The cozy sunroom, library with built-in bookcase, the wood-paneled dining room are classic. The period kitchen with a 6-burner commercial gas stove (and vent), and sub-zero refrigerator melds the new. While the sellers have replaced about everything (ductwork, 2 HVACs systems, floors, electrical, plumbing, slate roof and more) the details are a nod to the period. A lower level Rathskeller boasts a second kitchen to service gatherings with an adjoining bath and 2nd laundry. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will be thrilled by the 2-car detached garage and newer 3-car tandem garage/workshop with a one-bedroom apt overhead. Dual stairs in the house, dual driveway on the grounds add to convenience. A brick back wall is a pleasing backdrop; a large mini-barn with cathedral ceiling could transition to a playhouse. Space, quality and location underline this gem.
