History abounds in this beautifully restored home!
This property was once owned by a prosperous family in the late 1930s. Dr. Brown’s daughter, Anne, was blessed with a beautiful singing voice. After Anne received awards at the Julliard School of Music, her talents came to the attention of George Gershwin. Gershwin was so impressed that he changed the musical he was working on to include a role that would feature her stunning voice. The opera “Porgy and Bess” was born, and grew to be an important part of American musical and cultural history!
Over the last three years, this property has been painstakingly restored to its original elegance. Focusing on recapturing original detail, the owners have researched and carefully restored the style and feel of this wonderful home. Rich inlaid hardwood floors, ornate woodwork, and original stained glass combine to recreate the ambiance the original designers envisioned. With over 3,000 square feet and four floors, four bedrooms, a family room and three full bathrooms this property has ample room for families of today! Eleven-foot ceilings provide volume and light to showcase the original inlaid hardwood floors, classic marble fireplaces and pocket French doors. The covered deck on the second floor and the secluded lower brick patio provide room for elegant outdoor entertaining in addition to the entertaining you can enjoy indoors. The modern features of the updated kitchen and master garden bath blend today’s practical design with historic charm.
