Built in 1918 by John R. Tenison, this historic mansion, known as the Queen of Swiss Avenue, continues to have a presence in the historic community. Sited on a three quarter corner acre lot, the home has a grand aura about it.
The home has a wonderful front porch extending the length of the house. Upon entering you are in a grand, room sized entry hall with a dramatic and elegant staircase made from Honduran mahogany. The ceilings are ten feet tall throughout the first two levels of the home, which allows a generous scale to all rooms. The home also has seven fireplaces with several having beveled mirrors above the mantles.
On the second level are four bedrooms, a sleeping porch and a study. On the third level is a large room that extends from the front to the rear of the home and was built as a ballroom. Also on the third level is an additional bedroom and bath and a floored attic storage area.
The property also offers a two story three-car garage with quarters above. This is an amazing home of an era gone by, and offers the new owner a home in its original condition that can be restored and once again become the Queen of Swiss Avenue.
