If you want to live with Loose Park practically in your backyard, check out this historic home listed on Zillow for $1.89 million.
The 5,669-square foot residence has five bedrooms and six bathrooms. A 1929 advertisement in The Star called the Tudor-style home “beautiful beyond description.”
The listing for the newly-built home touted the exterior features of the “English residence”: “brick, stucco and timber; slate roof.”
Now, the home is located near the Plaza and Brookside, and a block south of Loose Park: 75 acres of rolling hills and walking trails with tennis courts, a playground and a rose garden.
Unique details abound in the living room, with curved ceilings, arched doorways and a French marble fireplace. The house also has a large family room off the back, a later addition to the historical home.
The dining room features an original chandelier surrounded by walnut paneling.
Open the dining room’s French doors to enter the sunroom, where leaded glass windows overlook the yard.
Stainless steel appliances and a breakfast nook round out the kitchen.
The basement adds more than 1,000 square feet of living space, including a laundry room, bathroom and game room with 9-foot ceilings and a wet bar.
In the backyard, homeowners can relax under the shady pergola while listening to the fountain. The house also has a two-car garage.
