The Story History Tells
In the 1850s, a gentleman built three houses side-by-side on Esplanade, one for each of his daughters. 723 Esplanade Avenue is straddled on either side by the other two. All three were built in the traditional Greek Revival Townhouse style, one of the most common building types at that time.
Thanks to the contribution of artist Karen Nitz, custom hand paintings are sprinkled throughout the residence. These include a breathtaking rendition of French painter Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec’s 1889 “La Toilette”, situated directly above the original mantle in the Grand Living room.
Elegance, Style, and Functionality
A highly functional floorpan is further augmented with hand done Venetian Plaster walls in an elegant dining room, a mirrored wall in the Grand Living room, chandeliers and a breakfast room just off the kitchen.
The second kitchen upstairs can be shared by residents and reserved for temporary house guests. A row of doors accessing the second floor balcony allow for appreciation beautiful weather during the spring and fall; the private courtyard in the rear is an oasis ideal for entertaining or quiet reading while the fountain creates a backdrop of sounds of a waterfall.
723 Esplanade Avenue is open to the public in November 18th and 19th form 12:00 to 4:00 pm. Your attendance is appreciated.
