Over the last 12 years this Grand Lady has undergone significant renovation, bringing her into the 21st century while maintaining the historical architecture, including a new roof, new boiler, and the replacement of 28 windows. On the second floor four full bathrooms were taken down to the studs and the plumbing and the electrical were extensively updated throughout the house. Central air conditioning on the second floor was installed. A whole house generator was added and so much more. Outside, extensive tuck pointing has been done by an historical restoration expert. The yard features gardens, a pond, stream, gazebo and shed, and a French drain system integrated into the landscaping. The property also has landscape lighting and an irrigation system.
The Audubon House has been a home to movie stars, secret agents, doctors, lawyers and business owners. With its classic architectural details, a 2-car attached garage, and breathtaking outdoor living spaces, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly expectational home in an enchanting setting.
