Property Description
From one oil baron to another golden-oil family, this Georgian Italianite mansion celebrates its centennial transferring the stewardship from one loving owner to the next. Led by the world renowned architect Edward Neil, R.W. and Annie Norton built this residence in 1925. The current owner painstakingly restored most of the mansion during the last 3 years sparing no expense. Spanning 6,000 sq. ft, this red-brick mansion exudes the grandeur of crossing from the Gilded Age to New Age. Sitting on a 1.33 acre corner lot in Highland with 6 garages, solid-iron gates and trees line on Robinson with original lampposts. The mansion features 7 marble fireplaces, original chandeliers and sconces, a Virginia blue slate roof, copper gutters and downspouts, and a floating spiral staircase that is rumored to be the first in the country. Every corner reveals authentic detail that tells its own story- from the original French doors to the handcrafted archway and copper screens that stand strong a century later. In this 5 expansive bedroom, 4.5 bath residence you will find original hardwood and marble floors, original breathtaking poured-plaster sculpted ceiling reliefs of nymphs and clam shell starburst by European artisans, cedar built-out closets in every bedroom, original Hunter ceiling fans in the sunroom and library, original bathrooms tile and woodwork, and the original built-in safe. The oversized eat-in kitchen offers a pantry, butler's pantry, a commercial grade gas stove, abundant storage and cabinets and silver closet. The primary suite features an ensuite bath and a connected nursery. On the parklike grounds of the estate is two custom-built treehouses with a drawbridge; a 500 sq. ft. apartment providing private living with its own kitchen, living space, bedroom, and full bath; and an additional restored & unfinished cottage. Enjoy the beauty of your organic garden with abundant Seven Sisters and Italian roses, and a beautiful Italianite oversized fountain.
