Be a part of history with this 1895 home designed by Louis Newman, developer of Forest Park Heights, the coveted neighborhood which abuts 735-acre Forest Park, one of the largest municipal parks nationwide. The home boasts 7 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 4100+ sqft of living space. Mixing modern and historic, it combines solar energy, heat pumps, state-of-the-art drainage, top-of-line systems, and 2nd-floor laundry with intricate woodwork, hardwood floors, brass hardware, diamond-pane windows and even a hidden, Prohibition-era spirits cabinet. The remodeled kitchen (stainless steel appliances, granite counters, hardwood cabinetry), butler's pantry (stainless steel counters & sink), and primary bathroom add contemporary flair. The wood-paneled dining room with one of five fireplaces enables stately social settings, conveniently located off the spacious living room, and exiting to one of the home's three porches. A balcony, gardens, patio area, and larger lot add exterior charm. Must see!
