From the agent: "The Nabisco Mansion an incredible work of architectural mastery designed by John Ludewig Wees, and constructed in the late 1800s for commercial baker and philanthropist, Lewis Dozier. Conceived with impressing the most fashionable guests of this golden era in mind, its grand foyer, soaring ceilings, hand-carved staircase and fireplaces, and medieval-style basement ballroom will transport you back in time. The current owners purchased the home 26 years ago, and undertook a passionate restoration, updating the mechanical systems of the home and preserving period details, all while building a new four-car garage, deck, and pergola."
The sprawling Nabisco Mansion is a veritable time capsule, with spacious gathering areas encrusted in ornate original detailing.
A crystal chandelier hangs from the gold-stenciled ceiling in the stately dining room. All the surrounding woodwork was recently restored by the current owners.
A grand staircase leads up to the second level, where many of the eight bedrooms await.
Fitted with a separate kitchen and bath, the top floor can easily serve as a rental apartment.
As part of the comprehensive renovation, the owners added a large pool and a four-car garage in the backyard. A spacious pergola offers an idyllic setting for alfresco dining.
