The enormous Grand Dame with a garage on the tree-lined Gifford Avenue rivals the best of the houses out in the suburbs. Originally constructed in 1902, this magnificent and breathtakingly beautiful Victorian house retains much of its original grandeur and irreplaceable architectural details that have been lovingly maintained over the years. The classic ‘Doctor’s Row’ residence is situated on the park block just a stone’s throw from the historic Lincoln Park, a 274 acre urban sanctuary with numerous sports fields, tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, playgrounds, jazz nights by the recently rededicated century-old fountain, dog runs, farmer’s market and nature’s walks. The interior of the house exemplifies Victorian architecture and features public rooms in grand proportions, stunning wedding cake plaster detail on ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, intricately carved fireplace mantles with period tile work, spectacular original staircase banisters, stained glass windows, plastered ceiling beams, wood paneling, pocket doors, antique radiators and elegant chandeliers.
