The Van Pelt House, circa 1926. Situated in the prestigious Oak Knoll neighborhood, this magnificent French Gothic masterpiece, designed by Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury, was the personal home of gifted architect, Garrett Van Pelt. The striking exterior, clad in Cotswold stone & light-washed brick with a dramatic roof line, creates an exciting, picture-perfect curb appeal. An intimate entry hall welcomes guests into a stunning LR brimming with architectural elements, including 20' high beamed ceilings, a handsome Rumsford fireplace, hand-hewn wood floors, original light fixtures & spectacular leaded-glass windows. Archways open to a cozy library and vistas of an enchanting backyard. A formal DR, with jade-green tile floors, is perfect for sit-down dinners. A butler's pantry connects to a remodeled kitchen with granite counters & high-end stainless steel appliances. Four bedroom suites & four beautifully-remodeled bathrooms complete this architectural jewel. The private & romantic backyard is perfect for relaxation and alfresco enjoyment. A canopied terrace overlooks a refreshing saltwater pool, spa & waterfall, and a lush lawn accented by colorful roses. Additional amenities include zoned air conditioning & heating, a large basement, security system, gated driveway and a storage room adjacent to the garage.
