About This Property
Located within the Centre Park Historic District, "A Great Place to
Call Home", stands this magnificent Victorian mansion originally
designed by the well-known architect Frank Furness. Upon entering
the front entrance, the presence of history abounds. The grand
foyer greets you with a beautiful, curved oak staircase, high
ceilings and a unique sandstone gas fireplace. In the 1920s
Paul Daubner, a Hungarian trained muralist, hand painted the murals
in the great room. If you are looking to entertain in grand style
the first floor offers that opportunity. While we can imagine the
social gatherings that occurred in these rooms, what hasn't been
lost in history is the condition. This is a Victorian mansion with
modern amenities with such examples of the electric wiring updates,
heat system converted to gas to make this property economical to
maintain, and let's not forget the ADA chairlifts that were
installed at street level and to the second floor. All the
beautiful antique light fixtures have been fully restored, on all
three floors the original parquet floors have been refinished and
the list goes on but let's not forget the full kitchen on the
second floor with Miele kitchen appliances! To learn more about the
Centre Park Historic District neighborhood visit their website or
