About this home

$200,000 Price Reduction!! This Georgian Italianate mansion built by R.W. and Annie Norton in 1925 with the world renowned architect, Edward Neild. The current owner has restored much of the home during the last 3 years. Spanning 6,000 sq. ft, this red-brick mansion sits on a 1.33 acre corner lot in Highland with 6 garages, solid-iron gates, and original lampposts. It features 7 marble fireplaces, original chandeliers and sconces, a Virginia blue slate roof, copper gutters and downspouts, floating spiral staircase, original French doors, a handcrafted archway, and copper screens. In this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath residence you will find original hardwood and marble floors, original poured-plaster sculpted ceiling reliefs by European artisans, cedar built-out closets in every bedroom, original Hunter ceiling fans in the sunroom and library, original 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 a silver closet. The primary suite features an ensuite bath and a connected nursery. On the parklike grounds of the estate are two custom-built treehouses; a 500 sq. ft. apartment providing private living with its own kitchen, living space, bedroom, and full bath; and an additional restored & unfinished cottage. You can also enjoy the beauty of the gardens, including an Italianate fountain.
