About This Property
Built in 1891, this historic Thomas Pyne residence is a remarkable
example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture, showcasing
extraordinary period craftsmanship and detail throughout. The
striking front portico welcomes you with intricate gold-leaf
woodwork, dentil molding, and grand double entry doors opening into
an impressive foyer. The grand faceted tower is textbook Queen Anne
style per vintage home historian, Denise Brady. Step inside
and discover a home rich with architectural character, including
Anaglypta wallcoverings, Bradbury & Bradbury-style wallpaper,
stained glass and painted glass, beautiful caramel stained wood
floors, elegant chandeliers, and classic picture-rail moldings. The
expansive main level features a gracious living room combining two
parlor rooms with decorative fireplace, formal dining room,
kitchen, solarium, office, laundry area, and full bathroom. The
kitchen has a commercial grade gas Wolf stove top, corner and
island seating perfect for congregating around the chef. The
office is counted as one of the six bedrooms while the solarium
shines with tall hatch windows, brass light fixtures, coffered
ceilings and skylights. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two
bathrooms, with an additional spacious primary suite with an
ensuite bathroom and exceptional closet space. A large attic,
accessed through a closet hatch, provides additional storage and
possibilities. The enormous full basement adds another dimension to
the property, offering a workshop, butler's kitchen, multiple
storage rooms, and an impressive library that may once have been a
ballroom to entertain the political gathering of yesteryear. County
records identify the residence as a six-bedroom, three-bath home
encompassing more than 4,884 square feet on an approximately
10,000-square-foot lot. Completing this exceptional property is a
converted carriage house at the rear, currently used as an ADU that
