Built in 1885 on Millionaire's Row by Col. C.C. Mengel, this home has 12 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and 14 gas (original) fireplaces. The present owner has worked tirelessly to restore it to its original integrity, and it is still a work in progress. Now it's up to YOU to finish the project and have an exquisite piece of history! The main home is now in use as 'single family', but could also be a two family dwelling; the carriage house can be converted to a single family dwelling; with a variance, you could have a to die for Bed and Breakfast. In an era when people used armories and didn't even have closets, this palace was built with eight walk in cedar lined closets in the main bedrooms! The attic and basement are unfinished raw spaces and could be utilized. Easy to show, you really have to see it to soak up the aura of how beautifully it was constructed. Tiffany stained glass, library with walnut coffered ceiling and raised panel walnut walls, formal dining room with mahogany coffered ceiling and raised panel walls, and inlaid floors everywhere you look! Since the Mengel family business was exotic woods, they are in use EVERYWHERE in this magnificent house! Treat yourself come by for a look! Other million dollar homes today are mere impersonators!
