This 1929 English manor gracefully blends Tudor and Italian influences, set across four city lots for unmatched privacy and elegance. Designed by noted architect Otto A. Merman, the residence is built from hand-chiseled travertine stone sourced from five different quarries, showcasing both artistry and enduring strength. Inside, timeless craftsmanship shines with four intricately carved fireplaces, a grand curved iron staircase, original wrought-iron fixtures, and a striking mix of slate and restored wood floors.

The upper level hosts inviting bedrooms, including a serene primary suite, while the circular stairway and unique architectural details create an unmistakable sense of history throughout. Outdoors, enjoy manicured grounds with stone garden walls, a picturesque garden house, and raised produce beds.
