Property Description

Being sold “as-is”, “where-is” with no further repairs to be made by seller. Homeowner did all that they could at significant cost (and their loss, your gain) to repair, restore and renovate the majority of the mansion and estate prior to relocating. The roof on the mansion is in need of repairs or replacement. There have been 3 previous ceiling leaks in need of cosmetic repair. The listing price more than realistically reflects the repairs and replacements required to finish the restoration. This Georgian Italianate mansion was built by R.W. and Annie Norton in 1925 with the world-renowned architect, Edward Neild. Spanning 6,000+ sq. ft, this red-brick mansion sits on a 1.33 acre corner lot in Historic Highland with 6 garages, solid-iron gates, and original lampposts. It features 7 working gas marble fireplaces, original chandeliers and sconces, a Virginia blue slate roof, copper gutters and downspouts, floating spiral staircase, original French doors, a handcrafted archway, and copper screens. In this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath residence you will find original hardwood and marble floors, original poured-plaster sculpted ceiling reliefs by European artisans, cedar built-out closets in every bedroom, original Hunter ceiling fans in the sunroom and library, original tile and woodwork, and the original built-in safe. The oversized eat-in kitchen offers a pantry, butler’s pantry, a commercial grade gas stove, abundant storage, and a silver closet. The primary suite features an ensuite bath and a connected nursery. On the parklike grounds of the estate are two custom-built treehouses; a 500 sq. ft. apartment providing private living with its own kitchen, living space, bedroom, and full bath; and an additional restored & unfinished cottage. You can also enjoy the beauty of the gardens.
