Description

Carefully and tastefully restored, this graceful one-of-a-kind beauty offers an extraordinary authentic historic charm that simply does not come around very often. Designed by architect Peter Dederichs for Charles F. Marshner and his family on nearly a quarter acre, this grand home is chock-full of gorgeous original detailing, from woodwork to mosaic tile. The main level includes a living room with coffered ceilings, mosaic tile and a brick fireplace, as well as beautiful bay window and leaded glass. The dining room stuns with built-in custom booth and cabinets, stained glass and wainscoting. An original swinging door leads to the butler’s pantry on the way to the bright, understated kitchen. Additional impressive features include a lovely parlor, powder room and an awe-inspiring wrap-around staircase with perfect window seat. The second floor features a spacious landing with four bedrooms, large closets, two baths with terrazzo floors and an updated balcony. The walk-up third-floor attic, including a cedar closet, offers a clean slate, perfect for storage or ready to be finished as extra square footage. There are endless possibilities outside in the large yard, from an outdoor living space to a garden with raised beds. Plus covered and exposed wrap-around porch to maximize outdoor living. Not to forget the detached alley-facing two-car brick garage. Finally, the basement, which was once used as a speakeasy during the prohibition, still has the original ice box and keg tap in place. Located in the desirable Islandview neighborhood, minutes from Belle Isle, the house is walkable to city favorites like Sister Pie, The Red Hook, and Marrow.
