Historic West End Brick Mansion built in 1912 by architect George Burnham with attention to every detail. As soon as you enter the gracious foyer with impressive open staircase, you will feel the sense of the open and airy feeling. The spacious front to back formal living room with mantel adorned with double columns and decoration, you will enjoy the decorative painting by artists Ralff and Son and corners adorned with Toni Wolf’s scenes of the Tuscan hillside, described in Maine Home and Design Magazine’s June 2009 issue “as they might look if viewed through columns.” Crossing back through the foyer you will find the generous formal dining room also with fireplace, walls covered with “Zuber” scenes. The custom kitchen offers a well thought out design with state of the art appliances, dining and sitting areas opening to professionally designed private gardens. As you experience the 2nd floor, you will find an additional front to back study/great room with fireplace which could also be used as a media room. Master bedroom offers custom built ins, walk in closet, fireplace and private bath. Additional bath and guest room overlooking gardens are a real plus. 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms (one with fireplace), newer bath with aerial views of the gardens. The gardens offer a variety of sitting areas as well dramatic backdrops for garden sculptures and private outside living. This home offers a rare brick 3 car garage off the private alley way.
