Situated within view of Audubon Park, this villa-style residence was built like a fortress on over a 1/3 acre lot at the corner of beautiful Newcomb Blvd. Seemingly influenced by the Second Renaissance Revival style of architecture, this home’s restrained grandeur features two unique recessed front and side entrances defined by classical columns, arches, white marble entry stairs, balustrades, multi-light windows and doors with fanlight transoms, and a low-pitched terra cotta tile roof with wide eaves and decorative rafter tails. The home's formal rooms, all with exceptional proportions surround an impressive staircase with a vaulted ceiling supported by four corner columns. Handsome wood paneling, wainscotting and trim were used throughout the entry halls, living room, study and dining room. There is a glamorous solarium with white and black marble flooring, handsome oak ceiling beams and Mediterranean fenestration. The breakfast room incorporates a diminutive Tudor-style fireplace, marble flooring and an antique chandelier. The kitchen, updated with stainless steel appliances and black granite countertops, has ceiling-height glass-front cabinets, and a separate service pantry. The enormous second story offers five bedrooms and three well-placed baths which could be easily redefined into suites and whatever alterations may be needed or imagined. The spacious third floor offers possibilities galore with its pleasant ceiling height, large dormer rooms, closets and bath. Rear stairs provide access from the third floor to a giant basement. The ample grounds surrounding the house could accommodate multiple outdoor amenities, a substantial garage and gardens that will enhance this gorgeous residence. The Grande Dame of Newcomb Blvd awaits her renewal and the next family that will cherish her for generations to come. Schedule a Private Showing
