This eight-bedroom home with eight full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms also includes an attached coachhouse, a guest house, a pool, a pool house, a conservatory and gardens with 21 “rooms” spanning nearly 9 acres. The English-style gardens have manicured green spaces, water features, marble statues, herringbone brick paths and pea gravel walkways. The brick Georgian was designed by architect Benjamin H. Marshall in 1904. The facade reflects the Prairie School of architecture, with its row of wide windows, a portico and a three-story gable with an Italianate influence featuring Tuscan columns and bowed windows. Inside, the kitchen includes a large center island, commercial-grade glass-front Traulsen refrigerator, a Viking range and dual walk-in pantries. The foyer features Greek key crown moldings and a bifurcated staircase with a library at the mezzanine level. The living room has a fireplace with a carved marble mantle. Double-paneled doors lead from the living room to a sunroom, which opens to a bluestone terrace overlooking the gardens. A heated four-car garage has an apartment above.
