Description:
Own an irreplaceable piece of history. Hitting the auction block on July 17, this grand Victorian estate was once the private home of famous early-1900s actress, Katie Putnam. It commands a breathtaking, private wooded ravine corner lot featuring a scenic natural stream--a magical, park-like setting you simply cannot replicate.
Inside, the home boasts spectacular architectural character just waiting to be brought back to its full glory. It features a dramatic exterior turret rising from the foundation to the roofline, an impressive grand open staircase, stained-glass windows, high ceilings, and multiple historic fireplaces.
This is the ultimate dream project for anyone looking to execute a high-end, top-to-bottom restoration and create a true showstopper.
Bring your vision and restore a landmark. Mark your calendars!
