The Dyer House is a pristine example of the beloved, and now rare, French Second Empire style. Inspired by French architecture, the style was popular in the mid-Victorian era during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. Built for Azro and Prudie Dyer in 1873, the home's design is attributed to architect Robert Boyd, whose name is associated with monumental civic landmarks of the time. Architectural elegance is clear when viewing the home. Its townhome side walls & prominent front facade provide ornamentation and astute proportions that highlight the home's verticality. Upon entry, beyond the walnut double doors, you're met with a vestibule with Greek key edged floors, soaring 13 foot ceilings, and stairwell ascending clear to the home's third floor. Rich woodwork of butternut, walnut, quartersawn oak, cherry, and heart pine are throughout, with casings, pocket doors, built-ins, and mantels on the home's 6 fireplaces. The front two parlor rooms connect for a multitude of floor plan arrangements through massive pocket doors. Entertaining or respite flow into the home's formal dining room, featuring quartersawn oak floors with cherry striping. The kitchen is accessible via two doorways from the dining room, with circular floorplan for outdoor entertaining and a gorgeous custom butler's pantry. Through the pantry, a remarkable kitchen renovation awaits. Soaring flush-face cabinetry, back door drop zone, rear covered deck - all perfect for current day living. Upstairs, the 2nd floor holds a private split-floorplan with main suite at the rear of the home. With twin pedestal sinks, walk-in closet, and an option for a second walk-in closet now used as a home office, the arrangement is impressive in its 21st century context. The front of the 2nd floor houses two additional, generous bedrooms and bathroom. On the 3rd floor, the home's 4th & 5th bedrooms connect, and a 3rd bathroom sits at the front of the hall. With a backyard primed for get togethers, fresh garden and yard space, and parking with plenty of room for a carriage house, the opportunity here is rare indeed. Seldom a home as prominent hits the market with this thorough of a renovation story and architectural provenance. On the market in this condition for the first time, it's got that je ne sais quoi of a masterpiece.
