Overview

This once stately home was built by M.S. Long in 1912, is situated in a secluded neighborhood surrounded by other lovely homes, is looking for new owners to complete its renovation. The Architects were Hagloch & Potter, who also designed at least one Carnegie Library. It was later purchased by Murray Parker, a former cowboy, grocer, lawyer, state legislator, county commissioner and restauranteur. It has mostly all original red oak woodwork on the first floor, living room & dining room fireplaces, pocket doors, french doors, and a lovely carved staircase. The study had been converted to a bedroom w/full bath. There are 2 family spaces, the sun porch to the east and a snug to the west. The kitchen has been gutted and awaits your design. On the second floor, the woodwork is supposedly red gum and there is a huge owners suite with a fireplace, plus there is a secondary owners suite, also with fireplace. Another bedroom has an attached sunporch, and there is a cedar closet and family bath off the hall. The third floor has 2 bedrooms, a bath, a large family space plus a linen room with built-ins. Outside, there are 7 garages, two with a roughed in carriage apartment above. The property includes 1? acres in the heart of the city, and is close to both Wallhaven and Highland Square. It?s time to find new owners who want to complete the job. Seller will do no more repairs, sold as is.
