This home has been described as,
MILLS ACT REGISTERED HOME offering incredible tax savings; this unspoiled Greene & Greene Craftsman home was built in 1906 for Manhattan socialite Caroline DeForest. It is distinguished as the least altered, most original of the surviving, privately occupied Greene & Greene masterpieces. Oriented to the rear for the utmost privacy from the street, the living spaces & original sunroom open to a lush and tranquil Japanese Garden with flowing water features. Classic woods-never painted-such as Port Orford Cedar, Maple, Redwood & Pine blend with arroyo stone, brick, plentiful rolled glass windows, & many original fixtures with art glass shades to create the quintessential livable craftsman home. Plans exist for an extensive ground level build-in within the existing basement area, permitting an additional 800+ square feet, inclusive of a convertible 2-bedroom/one bath loft-like space. House features 2 beds/1ba up and 2 beds/1ba down. 3rd bathroom is part of original basement configuration.
