Built 141 years ago for David Constant Jaccard, co-founder of the world-renowned Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Co., this spectacular 5,800 sq foot Second French Empire residence, with spacious carriage house, is a rare architectural gem, an impeccably preserved piece of the 19th century. Step through the wrought iron front gates to a elegant courtyard featuring brick pathways and cobblestone sidewalks, then walk inside to discover a grand 3-story staircase, intricately carved woodwork, 12-foot coved ceilings, crown molding, and nine elaborate marble fireplace mantels. The formal living room is complemented by an 11-foot gilded pier mirror, pocket doors and period details rarely preserved. The first floor a dream setting for a party—rich with character, atmosphere, and grandeur, the kitchen features the original butlers pantry, two sinks and 42” cabinetry. The first floor is equipped with a newly renovated full bathroom and with 3 large living areas with pocket doors that could be used for comfortable multi-generational living. The second floor primary suite has a walk through bath to a sitting room which could also be used as a shared children's suite. Rounding off the 2nd floor is a 3rd bedroom, full bath and laundry room that dreams are made of. The third floor features 3 more bedrooms and a beautiful library with custom shelving. Recently renovated full bath on main floor and updated wiring for antique chandeliers an sconces. More surprises as you head outside, the tree covered back yard walks out to more cobblestone walkways and a 2 car brick garage with a carriage house above. The carriage house is self sufficient and cozy with its own kitchen, bath, and laundry. This would be a wonderful income producing rental, home office, or college student rental.
