Welcome to the McDermott House: A Masterpiece of Queen Anne Craftsmanship
Experience the pinnacle of Gilded Age elegance in the heart of the historic GE Realty Plot. The McDermott House stands as a testament to turn-of-the-century grandeur, greeting guests with a commanding front porch anchored by rare, composite Corinthian and Ionic columns and oversized hardwood double doors.
Inside, the home unfolds across 3,500 square feet of meticulously preserved history. Soaring 10-foot ceilings and expertly refinished hardwoods guide you through a main level designed for hosting. The family room serves as a centerpiece, featuring a classic coffered ceiling and gas fireplace. Notably, the home retains its original textured wallpaper--a rare find in such exceptional condition--adding an authentic layer of soul to the interior. Original hardwood wainscoting, leaded glass cabinetry and wood burning fireplace completes the dining room
The upper levels offer modern luxury without sacrificing historical integrity. The expansive primary suite features a newly renovated bath with radiant heat and a double vanity. Ascend to the third floor to find the home's crowning jewel: a massive skylight that bathes the mahogany staircase and upper landings in natural light. A true legacy property for the discerning collector.
