A one of a kind exceptional Arts and Crafts home rich with history, this home is one of four remaining hilltop homes sited around the famous Grand Hotel. Originally a summer home, it was built to resemble an ocean liner and there are many remaining nautical and shingle design elements, most notably the full wraparound porch which lends itself to guests and entertainment. Some of the original features include the porch’s eyebrow windows and massive shutters, the dramatic floor to ceiling fireplace, stained glass lighting fixtures, beautiful woodwork, builtins, cast bronze door knockers on each bedroom door, the servants’ quarters, chauffeur’s carriage house and a few remaining pieces of furniture. There are five bedrooms, including the master with adjoining office or nursery, all updated bathrooms, loads of closet space and southeasterly views. Never before offered on the public market.
