"The Antoinette," is an extraordinary residence that encapsulates Southern architectural elegance and historical charm. Built in 1911 by Louis Forcheimer, this home was designed as a Southern Architectural Masterpiece, inspired by the grandeur of a New Orleans structure. The home's structural integrity remains unmatched, constructed with concrete and tile to ensure lasting durability. As you step through the front door, you are immediately greeted by the beauty of a mahogany and marble staircase, leading to a large, open foyer. The detailed woodworking in this space is truly a sight to behold. The home's 9-inch original parquet floors are a recurring theme throughout. In addition, the elaborate crown molding in the formal living room, foyer, and den is a testament to the craftsmanship of its era. Upon restoration, the other plaster crown molding was carefully crafted in Chicago, further elevating the home's historic charm. In the Butler's kitchen, the original tile flooring remains, along side the home's original doors which continue to feature their original hardware and hinges throughout. The separate dining room has a uniquely designed Carrera marble fireplace, adding an air of refined luxury to the space. The Antoinette also boasts two spacious sitting areas and two well-appointed bedrooms on the main floor. The third bedroom is just up the stairs and is its own area, separate from the other rooms. It also has its own en suite. The kitchen offers abundant storage space, including a wine refrigerator for your convenience. A separate laundry room with newly installed cabinetry ensures that you have all the space you need for organization. The front balcony, featuring black marble flooring, provides a stunning view of the RSA Tower, especially in the evening. The home's secured entrance is equipped with an electric gate, offering both privacy and peace of mind. Outside, you'll find a private gunite, saltwater pool, along with an outdoor fireplace and grilling area. This residence includes two reserved, covered parking spaces and a shared full-length basement with ample storage. The Antoinette is more than just a residence; it is a piece of history and a true Southern treasure. Buyer responsible for verifying all measurements and relevant details.
