For the first time in 40 years, this nationally registered historic property is going on the open market. The entire property has been lovingly restored to preserve authenticity.The entire interior and exterior of the home as well as the carriage house have been maintained in its own time-capsule. The front terrace is remarkable and upon entering the home and walking through the crafted vestibule, you will step onto the hand painted original foyer floor. This is all just the beginning of what this property has to offer. The home has 5 fireplaces (4 gas and 1 electric), period light fixtures, rough-hewn walls and doors that are breathtaking, floor to ceiling windows throughout that allow views of the arched Hastings Bridge and Mississippi River as well as the most beautiful natural light that accentuates the finishes throughout the home.
