A castle? Fully restored? YES! This 1920s home, designed by premier architect for his family, has been fully restored. Wind thru the grove of trees, up the newer concrete drive. Pass the turret, Juliet balcony, leaded glass and heavy wooden front door adorned with a sundial. The historic French Normandy mansion sits perched on a hill and 1/2+ acre stately grounds overlooking the quiet enclave of Watson Rd. Roped crown molding and twp curved gas fireplaces are a few of the architectural details. The cozy sunroom, library with built-in bookcase, the wood-paneled dining room are classic. The period kitchen with a 6-burner commercial gas stove (and vent), and sub-zero refrigerator melds the new. While the sellers have replaced about everything (ductwork, 2 HVACs systems, floors, electrical, plumbing, slate roof and more) the details are a nod to the period. A lower level Rathskeller boasts a second kitchen to service gatherings with an adjoining bath and 2nd laundry. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will be thrilled by the 2-car detached garage and newer 3-car tandem garage/workshop with a one-bedroom apt overhead. Dual stairs in the house, dual driveway on the grounds add to convenience. A brick back wall is a pleasing backdrop; a large mini-barn with cathedral ceiling could transition to a playhouse. Space, quality and location underline this gem.

The D-4 District is intended for low or medium intensity single-family and two-family residential development. Land in this District needs good thoroughfare access, relatively flat topography, and nearby community and neighborhood services and facilities with pedestrian linkages. Provisions for recreational facilities serving the neighborhood within walking distance are vitally important. Trees fulfill an important cooling and drainage role for the individual lots in this District. The D-4 District has a typical density of 4.2 units per gross acre. This District fulfills the low density residential classification of the Comprehensive General Land Use Plan. All public utilities and facilities must be present. Development plans, which may include the use of clustering, should incorporate and promote environmental and aesthetic considerations, working within the constraints and advantages presented by existing site conditions, including vegetation, topography, drainage and wildlife.
