AUCTION BIDDING OPEN! Bidding ends 8/23/24 . Previously Listed $4,000,000. Current High Bid $750,000. Showings are available by appointment daily from 12-2pm. This gorgeous 1898 Victorian estate boasts a main house constructed in Queen Anne style, with Milwaukee cream brick, a gabled Canadian roof, and stunning painted tin cornices. Known as the David Hyatt Van Dolah House, the property has been impeccably restored and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The main house includes three floors of living space with a floating staircase that forms a heart when viewed from below. Millwork, embossed hardware, and hand painted ceilings are just a few of the beautiful aesthetic details that run throughout this unique home. A contemporary modern pool house provides additional living space and includes an attached three-car garage. Forty-two acres of lovely grounds include a gazebo, mini arboretum, fountain, and in-ground pool. With 75-year-old juniper trees, ginkgo, fir, and magnolia trees, the lush grounds are perfect for taking a daily stroll. Next to the pool is a tennis court that can also be used as a half-court for basketball. In addition to the primary and guest houses, the property includes two steel Morton structures perfect for storage or event spaces. This property has endless potential - as a single-family home, corporate retreat, event venue, or anything else that delights the imagination.
