Property Description
Rare Opportunity to Own a Historic Masterpiece on Moss Avenue! Discover a remarkable blend of history, craftsmanship, and elegance in this stunning 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, nestled on the iconic Historic Moss Avenue. Originally built by John Merkle, founder of a renowned 19th-century marble and granite monument company, this architectural gem boasts exquisite details throughout, showcasing the finest materials of its time. As you approach, the impressive raw marble and granite walkways set the tone for the grandeur within. Step through the picture-perfect 1920s front door into an inviting foyer, where checkerboard tile and rich natural woodwork exude timeless charm. From the foyer, you're welcomed into a light-fill sunroom adorned with leaded glass doors, an intricate inlayed mosaic tile floor, and preserved original fixtures. The formal living room enchants with its coffered ceiling, striking marble fireplace, and a cozy window seat. This space opens to the moody dining room with custom built-ins. Next, pass through a charming swing door to the informal dining area, a butler's pantry, an updated kitchen, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, each featuring unique vintage mosaic tile. The primary suite includes an additional space through arched leaded glass doors, ideal for a home office or nursery. Ample storage options w/ a full basement and a rare three-car garage.
