520 N 38th St, Omaha, NE 68131
What's special
Perched high on a hill in Omaha’s historic Gold Coast, this magnificent Georgian Revival landmark presides over its half-acre setting with commanding elegance. A grand porte cochère leads to the central hall, where a sweeping staircase, intricate woodwork, hardwood floors, stained-glass windows, and exquisite sconces showcase remarkable craftsmanship. Expansive parlors, a third-floor ballroom, and an extraordinary basement gentleman’s parlor offer exceptional spaces for entertaining. The butler’s pantry, servant’s quarters, and hidden safe room provide fascinating glimpses into another era. A stunning modern kitchen crown molding in almost every room and updated electrical and mechanical systems complement the home’s historic character. Recent improvements include new HVAC and a 50-year Brava tile roof on the carriage house. With former chauffeur’s quarters above, the carriage house offers wonderful potential as a guest retreat, rental or private work space. This home is amazing!
