About this home

Own a piece of history!! Designed by the prominent architectural firm of Walker & Weeks, which counts Severance Hall as one of its notable projects, this 1912 Tudor Revival was built for Orville Prescott on the stretch of Fairmount Boulevard listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The formal gardens were originally designed by The Olmsted Brothers, sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of Central Park, adding to this property's famed pedigree. The expansive stone patio and koi pond remain. This iconic estate offers everything you would expect from a property of its stature built in that era, from the exquisite woodwork, the formal living and dining rooms, paneled study with fireplace, pocket doors and built-in bookshelves, the grand staircase and elevator, to the oversized veranda. Let's not forget the 3rd floor ballroom, which was quite en vogue with the most prosperous of families at the turn of the 20th Century, and which is enjoying a revival of its own as a game room complete with billiards table. Much of the original character and charm have been preserved as modern upgrades were made. The Faralli-designed chef’s kitchen features Viking appliances including a 48” gas range with double ovens and two copper sinks. The secluded primary suite features two spacious rooms, both with fireplaces, an updated bathroom with dual sinks, walk-in shower and soaking tub, as well as a walk-in closet with jewelry safe. The seldom-found carriage house connected to the 3-car garage, features 2 bedrooms (1 on the ground floor) and 2 full bathrooms. This is the ideal space for an in-law or au pair suite, or a rental unit, currently generating $4,000 per month. Perfectly situated on nearly two-thirds of an acre, this property could be purchased with a separate buildable half acre lot on Guilford, creating a property of well over one acre... a rarity in The Heights.
