This stunning home, built in 1913 by Dr. John Taylor and then acquired by the current owners in 1969, arrives on the market for the first time in its 102 year history. Outside, the fully restored masonry exterior speaks to the structural integrity of a home built to last centuries. Inside, solid oak floors, rich fir paneled walls, leaded glass windows and 12-foot ceilings supported by ornate, old-growth fir ceiling beams and columns will take your breath away. The updated kitchen includes a charming, waist-high wood burning fireplace. Three gas fireplaces on the main floor, combined with efficient, steam-driven, radiated heat keep this 7,000 square foot mansion comfortably warm on the coldest winter day. A classic den (with fireplace) on the main floor is well-suited for a home office. The sweeping U-shaped staircase provides stunning access to the second floor and its four bedrooms. A handsome masonry deck wraps around the south and west sides of the house for late afternoon sun and outdoor entertaining. This gorgeous residence is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped two-tiered yard, which includes a sport court. Surprisingly close to Kent, it's a quick 10 minute walk to Kent Station, and the Sounder rail link to Seattle and Tacoma. If location, quality and the elegance of yesteryear are your desire then this is the home for you!
