Ultimately, we had to pass on this character home because -- HELLO -- look how much work it needs. It's been on the market for over three years, and I truly hope that someone with the means and passion scoops it up and restores it to it's former glory. The plaster walls are layered in handpainted paper, and the original floors are hidden under massive rugs. Each interior door is unique and beautiful, and many crystal and enamel doorknobs remain. The fireplaces are the pieces that most charm me... You can just imagine a cracking, sparkling fire heating rooms full of hoop skirted women, and top hatted men.
Maybe one day, we'll get to own a true historic jewel like this one. Until then, the search continues...
XO,
Annika
