Gracing one of the City's only urban, tree-canopied hills, this amazing .46-acre estate is the crown jewel of the Capital City. Historical provenance, world class architecture, impeccable modernity! This Italianate Victorian greets you with a stunning profile from the exterior and grabs you the moment you enter with the feel of the very best Parisian-styled apartment you've ever dreamt of. 12' ceilings throughout the first floor are punctuated by solid wood, recessed double doors separating the grand rooms of this light-filled, open and airy home. Views of the heritage trees and mature landscaping fill each tall window with verdant nature. This continues on the second floor with 11' ceilings articulating each gracious room with a feeling of luxury and ease, seamlessly bridging the gap between history and comfort. Each room possesses an elegant symmetry. The formal living room centers on the original, working Carrera marble, Gold Rush-era fireplace with its signature European influence. The room is finished with exquisite plaster work which spills onto the ceiling above from monumental wood moldings. These treatments run throughout the property. The family room and guest room both possess rarely found original metal-work fireplaces which have been exquisitely preserved. The gleaming hardwood floors with mahogany inlay add a revivalist 1920's flair & style. The primary suite enjoys a large en-suite bathroom, sizable closets & gracious adjacent sitting area rivaling any modern estate. The grounds benefit from the neighboring estate's historic, 10' high walls which provide the backdrop for a private garden setting with brick terrace, lawn & pool. In addition, this property offers a private driveway off the back alley with the remaining yard offering an excellent shield of heritage trees & plantings which encompass the home with solitude & grace. The next owner will benefit from over 150 years of amazing real estate luck. From the placement of this home to the growth of the City and each previous owner's significant contributions, this property continues to evolve as one of the only original pioneer estates remaining intact in its pastoral setting in the urban grid.
