Step back in time to this nearly untouched, yet well maintained piece of history situated in the heart of Park View. Designed by the renowned architect A.H. Sonnemann and constructed in 1917 by the esteemed Kennedy Bros., this home is the second in a harmonious row with unobstructed views of the Old Soldier’s Home. Over its 108-year history, it has been cherished by only four families, with the current owner being an artist deeply passionate about historic preservation. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by the original, rarely seen 1” wide oak floors, preserved in their natural splendor alongside a grand staircase. The home's double-wide design, spanning 23 feet in diameter, allows for an abundance of warmth and light to flood every room, a hallmark of the Kennedy Bros. craftsmanship. The living room is a testament to the home's heritage, boasting an unpainted brick fireplace with a gas insert, complemented by a wooden mantle and coordinating tile, while exquisite chandeliers with iridescent etched glass shades, unique to the era, add a touch of elegance to the main floor. In the spacious dining room, you’ll find the original plate rails creating the ideal setting for intimate gatherings with loved ones. The artistically restored antique kitchen pays homage to its 1917 origins featuring custom cabinetry, vintage hardware, and a restored circa 1917 Oriole gas stove complemented by a fully functional 1929 Frigidaire refrigerator and cast iron sink. The sunroom, accessible directly from the dining room and kitchen, offers a perfect canvas for its new owners and provides easy direct access to the parking spaces at the rear of the home. Heading upstairs to the bedrooms, you’re greeted with wooden doors and glass knobs that whisper stories of the past. The east-facing primary bedroom, with private porch access and historic sconces, offers breathtaking sunrise views and features a unique bathroom with a needle shower that connects to the spacious second bedroom. The second bathroom, conveniently accessed from the hallway captivates with its large cast iron tub and sink, beautifully illuminated by the restored skylight. The bedroom positioned in the front of the home is the perfect space for an office or nursery. Headed to the back of the home you’ll find two spacious bonus rooms that can be easily used as a fourth bedroom eagerly awaiting its next owner's vision. With easy access from the main hallway, is access to the attic, perfect for additional storage. The unfinished lower level provides a large open floor pan with tall ceilings and hopper windows allowing light to shine through. Outside, is a mature flowering Redbud Tree providing a serene setting for gardening, relaxing, or enjoying a cup of coffee as the deer wander in the field. This historic gem invites its next owner to reimagine its story, making it the perfect canvas for those who appreciate the beauty of heritage and craftsmanship.
