Nestled on a charming tree-lined street, this well restored 100-year-old home exudes timeless elegance and charm. This federal-style home was designed by architect Howard L. Cheney (who also designed our Monterrey Post Office)in 1926 for Robert K. Warren, vice president of Morton Salt. It has the solidity of a commercial building (the walls are three bricks thick) and the spacious harmony of a New England manor. With marvelous curb appeal, the front porch has vintage wrought iron railings and classic white columns with a double stairway. Through the red door, you enter a lovely entranceway with a built-in bench, then into a spacious foyer showcasing the magnificent winding wooden staircase painstakingly restored to its former glory. The custom designed crown molding and hardwood floors are especially beautiful as natural light streams through the large windows. The living room boasts a stately fireplace, surrounded by marble and a wood mantle. It is perfect for large gatherings, while the sunroom with lovely views in three directions, is designed for moreintimate family times. The spacious dining room is set off by beautifully restored hardwood built-ins and ornate plasterwork on the ceiling. The kitchen seamlessly blends modern convenience with historic charm, featuring custom cherry cabinetry along with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops.
