Located in the heart of the historic Kenwood Landmark District, this stunning residence was designed by renowned architect Howard van Doren Shaw in 1902. Shaw relied on traditional English architecture but in fact built quite modern houses for the time. The original owner's initials still grace the ironwork of the front door, which opens into a barrel-vaulted entry hall. Magnificent formal areas of the 1st level feature original plasterwork and stained glass with pomegranates and grapevines, set against stunning woodwork. These details are not rooted in the past, but blend with amenities required by today's standards. The chef's kitchen is a cook's dream come true, w/adjacent pantry and access to the large backyard. Up the grand staircase of the main house, the Master offers a walk-in closet and ensuite bath; 3 additional bedrooms, 3 more baths and laundry complete this floor. On the sunny 3rd level are a family room, 3 bedrooms, 2nd kitchen and outdoor entertaining area. Seven fireplaces warm the interiors, which feature zoned air conditioning for the 7,000+ sq feet. Additionally the property features a 2 car coach house with rental unit above. A resplendent urban estate, where you can write the next chapter of this home's incredible history!
