The enormous Grand Dame with a garage on the tree-lined Gifford Avenue rivals the best of the houses out in the suburbs. Originally constructed in 1902, this magnificent and breathtakingly beautiful Victorian house retains much of its original grandeur and irreplaceable architectural details that have been lovingly maintained over the years. The classic 'Doctor's Row' residence is situated on the park block just a stone's throw from the historic Lincoln Park, a 274 acre urban sanctuary with numerous sports fields, tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, playgrounds, jazz nights by the recently rededicated century-old fountain, dog runs, farmer's market and nature's walks. The interior of the house exemplifies Victorian architecture and features public rooms in grand proportions, stunning wedding cake plaster detail on ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, intricately carved fireplace mantles with period tile work, spectacular original staircase banisters, stained glass windows, plastered ceiling beams, wood paneling, pocket doors, antique radiators and elegant chandeliers. The entry foyer is one for the storybook and holiday-ready with a built-in bench, mirror and dazzling wood-works. The recently redone kitchen is equipped with splendid white cabinetry, brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, integrated refrigerator & dishwasher, Quartz counter-tops, gorgeously tiled back-splash and a wine cooler. With a flexible lay-out containing 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, home office and several living rooms, the house can accommodate an in-law unit. The grand Victorian sits on an exceptionally large 50' x 110' lot with a sprawling backyard and a rarely attainable underground Garage. In addition, there are a butler's pantry, a powder room and countless windows flooding in natural light throughout the day. Minutes to NYC via Journal Square PATH and surrounded by shops, restaurants and schools, this refined and voluminous residence, seeped in local history and located on the highly sought-after Gifford Avenue, is truly a rare offering.
