The exterior is notable for a band of diamond-patterned wood shingles, and the gables are decorated with half-timbering and stucco-surrounded windows—details typical of Sully's work.<br><br>Inside, the home offers gracious, high-ceilinged rooms. The large reception hall features a stunning staircase and stained glass. Original features have been preserved, including wood floors, stained glass windows, diamond-patterned leaded windows, unique fireplaces, and functional pocket doors. The dining room is enhanced by a large bay window with built-in seating. The front bedrooms upstairs provide sweeping views of the oak-lined Carrollton Avenue and the streetcar line.<br><br>The property has seen significant upgrades, including the meticulous replacement of the slate roof in 2007 and updated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. The rear yard includes a garage, the brick base of the original cistern (suitable for storage or a potting shed), and a mature citrus tree, with ample space remaining for the addition of a pool.<br><br>This is a fabulous opportunity to own an architecturally significant, historic home, allowing for cosmetic updates to truly make it your own.
