A rare opportunity when opening this door of this residence to go back in time to see the home where a fairy tale came to life. This handsome brick colonial was built by the famous John B Kelly Family. A three time Olympic gold medal winner in the 1920s. John Jr. also was an Olympic bronze medal winner in 1956 and the winner of the 1947 British Henley Regatta. The famous Grace Kelly who was an Academy Award winning actress and became a Princess of Monaco when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco grew up in this house. Guests are welcomed by way of a semi circular driveway leading into the spacious foyer. Off the foyer to the right is the formal living room with wood paneled walls and fireplace where many notable personalities gathered for festive occasions. If only those walls could talk! Off this room is the enclosed porch used as the upstairs family room. The formal dining room was truly fit for a Prince! Moldings and Clam shelled nooks, wainscoting accent the decor. The kitchen has built in cabinets and a lovely breakfast room to feed all. The upper levels host 4 bedrooms and baths on 2nd level along with the 3rd floor 2 additional bedrooms and bath. See the door where the Kellys etched in their heights over the years. The basement has a fireplace and was the formal den. There is an additional room set up as a bar, where a lot of entertaining was enjoyed. The estate sits on .69acres of land with garden areas. Conveniently located and easy access to the city, this house is a diamond waiting to be polished and brought back to it's original splendor. Come visit where great life events took place and were enjoyed. 09/03/16
