Spanning 14,000+ square feet and set on a generous half-acre lot, this expansive historic house presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the discerning buyer who appreciates incomparable elegance, prewar charm, and modern amenities in a premier location. Built in 1854, 510 Wolfe Street is brimming with architectural character and original details. From the stately brick facade and original ornate iron fencing to the gracious 3-story interiors, grandeur is embodied at every turn. The magnificent residence further entices offering all the comforts one could desire, with its own 4-car garage and ample driveway parking, lush private yard and sunken garden with irrigation, lovely porch with a wisteria-covered pergola, and large paver-stone patio with fans and lighting for the ultimate outdoor enjoyment. Adorning the spectacular main home are exquisite elements throughout, among them soaring ceilings up to 12'6", original plaster ceiling rosettes/medallions, oversized windows inviting in beautiful natural light, 13 fireplaces (12 with original mantels), antique chandeliers, original heart pine floors, solid 6' Virginia heart pine doors, rare 1950's English dolphin motif stained glass accents, original crown molding/base trim, and an original circular staircase with walnut handrails ascending to upper floors. The stunning main level affords an ideal backdrop for entertaining. Off the gracious entry foyer sits an enormous double-parlor great room with dual fireplaces to gather around, each with marble mantles and gilded gold leaf period-matching mirrors above. Serve gourmet meals in the regal formal dining room with a butler's pantry, connected to an original eat-in country kitchen that can be updated to suit the contemporary chef. This level also features a handsome study for lounging with coffee or cocktails; a fabulous sky-lit conservatory-sunroom with original hand-molded brick floor, original sandstone window sills, and glass doors to the rear yard; a full laundry room; and a guest powder room. Occupying the two upper floors, each marked by airy 11'6" ceilings and open landings furnished as sitting areas, are 6 bedrooms, plus a secluded in-law or guest suite with a living room, 7th bedroom, kitchenette and full bath. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat complete with a dressing room and en-suite bath, and access to a library with built-in bookshelves in the hall.
