SOLD "AS IS." Designed in 1907 by Thomas Bishop & Co., this eighteen-room South Kenwood house is in good company, a neighbor of another home built by A.R. Clark and most recently occupied by President Obama. This large and elegant mansion has all the details from an era of gracious home building including oak paneling and beamed ceilings in the foyer that are echoed in an elegant dining room. The beauty of hardwood floors is offset by exquisite woodwork, stained glass, and intricate plaster moldings. A large kitchen and adjacent pantry await your upgrades, and offer views to the greenery of a large yard with access to a deck and outdoor grill. The second level features a huge Master Suite, three bedrooms and a solarium. Truly a family home, the third level offers a ballroom in addition to two bedrooms, while the lower level includes an exercise room, game room, laundry, and wine storage. Fully air-conditioned. Two-car garage accessed by a driveway off the street.
