If walls could talk, they would tell you how renowned local builder, C.S. Griffith, built his personal home right across the street from the fountain at Southwestern University & included a music room for his wife to entertain. How the McClain’s, a prominent family in Georgetown , fell in love with the spacious, open rooms & used them for storied parties.Only two other families have owned the home & have brought this historically significant home into the 21st century. Are you ready to become the next stewards of this gracious home? Do you love the luster of original Oak floors,dressed up details like glass door knobs,original french doors & crown molding, or a formal foyer to greet guests? Need a dining room that will easily seat 12 guests & boasts the original built-in china cabinet?
This lovely home reflects the modern lifestyle of a busy family while showcasing the features of a signature Georgetown property. Original details like wallpaper, light fixtures & fireplaces were preserved when possible. Upstairs landing shows off the seasoned ship-lap wood walls, which could be exposed anywhere in the house. A side porch with jalousie windows makes a lovely garden room. A glassed-in sun room is currently a wonderful studio filled with natural light. The former sleeping porch off the primary suite is a cozy space to read or relax while looking over the huge backyard. You will love the dressing room/closet adjacent to the remodeled primary bathroom featuring marble tile & a slipper tub!
Gather on the second floor balcony to capture a moonlit evening. The property extends back to the street behind it & offers an additional entrance & drive, plus plenty of space for a garage or pool.
