    What a splendid house! I'm so glad that everyone has been pretty respectful of the original details. I especially envy the electric sink.

  • 10 years ago

    Now THAT'S a house! I could live there forever.

    What a great family house. The staircase is beautiful, and I love the kitchen and that awesome fridge.

  • 10 years ago

    Wow!

  • 10 years ago

    That is beautiful. You should be proud. What a showplace.

  • 10 years ago

    Gorgeous! How do I live without a fur vault??

  • 10 years ago

    I can't imagine what it would cost to keep a house like that in good repair, but it's certainly a graceful floor plan.

  • 10 years ago

    Wow, that's an incredible piece of history for such a tiny price. 10K sq ft? $43 a square foot for a renovated home? What a deal.

  • 10 years ago

    Wow, that staircase is spectacular. We actually had this


    Kohler electric sink in the house we lived in from 1985-2012. Of course, that house was nowhere as spectacular, not nearly as large, and yet cost almost as much in 1985 as that house sold for in 2015!

    sjhockeyfan, did it work?

    Beautiful home. It's been fortunate to have loving owners who have understood the value of the original features of that home.

  • 10 years ago

    That is a steal. I hope the Doctor never has to consider a job in LA!

    This is a fabulous house! Very intelligent restoration. So glad it didn't end up being blindly painted white and gray all over. I'm swooning over the tile work in the breakfast room, the staircase, and everything else too!

  • 10 years ago

    1920s tile work… Drool city!

  • 10 years ago

    I originally saw this house on yahoo before I came here. Wow, it is spectacular in every way. The kitchens, baths, tile work, pantries!

    Oh my, that is a lovely home and one that I could easily live in happily!

    You're right! My jaw did drop when I saw the price. That was the deal of the century!

    Beautiful house, and how cool that it's in your own town, Darcy! I want a refrigerator just like that one.

  • 10 years ago

    Beautiful home that must have been staged with period-appropriate furnishings. That entry is to die for. All of those closet built-ins and the tile in the breakfast patio...swoon. They got it for a steal. Thanks for posting this!

  • 10 years ago

    Beautiful character! They got quite a bargain!

  • 10 years ago

    That was a steal! Never heard of electric sinks.

    Darcy, I'm originally from FW. My mom spent the last few months of her life at Sacred Heart in Avilla.

  • 10 years ago

    never heard of electric sinks, either!

    I love that staircase, and it sounds like a fun house.

  • 10 years ago

    I'd happily settle for its runner up in Carmel!

  • 10 years ago

    I couldn't quite tell the history of the home's care. Did the physician/wife do a lot of repairs since they purchased it in May or was the house brought back to life by a previous owner?

  • 10 years ago

    *Waves at CindyMac* Hi neighbor!

    jewel, I wouldn't say it ever had to be "brought back to life". It's been well cared for the whole time we've lived in this town (20+ years). The owners before this family did a lot of work to restore it though. This couple have continued that work by re-installing rubber flooring in the kitchen. It's a great old home.

    Love that house, especially the refrigerator!

    Amazing house, thanks for posting!
