A Potwin Place treasure chest of extravagant Victorian architectural detail. Fall in love with a house. A massive concrete wrap-around porch, hefty milled woodwork in unusual patterns and fabulous glasswork inside and out, narrow plank oak flooring, tall ceilings, tall baseboards, too, Lincrusta wainscoting and library paneling, gorgeous lighting, original hardware, speaking tubes (!), and more. Front and back parlors, dramatic front stairs, discreet back stairs, sunny studio/study spaces up and down. Cherry kitchen deluxe. Tiered deck and sectioned patio in a beautifully landscaped wonderland fenced backyard. Buried utilities, of course. Rich in everything including history, for instance, on January 15, 1930, Alf and Theo Landon's wedding took place in the front parlor — this was her parents' home. Seller will review offers at 5pm on Monday, June 13.
