Welcome to the equivalent of the 1800s St. Louis Ferrari Mansion originally built by James Connolly, the Gold Medal Winner of the American Car and Foundry Company, our Ferrari Vs. Lamborghini rivalry at the time, and later a prominent industrialist, businessman and politician. Smitten by its unique historic grandeur, the current owners embarked on a serious renovation, removing asbestos walls, peeling molded wallpaper, stripping layers of paint off of lush hardwood pillars and fireplace mantels until the bygone splendor glistened underneath to reveal its lush elegance. Bring your designer and unleash your imagination to make a statement with striking colors, Onix, travertine, malachite and velvet because this gorgeous beauty with an entrance foyer, grand staircase, stunning leaded glass masterpiece, formal living and dining rooms, butler's pantry, kitchen, possible elevator and grand primary suite on the third floor (now billiards), 5BR, 2.5BA, 6500+ won’t wait! The party zone in the back is already finished, with its vaulted 14"+ ceiling dome, heated floors, hot tub, see-through indoor-outdoor functional fireplace, wet bar with granite countertops, 2 drink coolers and a garland of windows that make you feel California. The 3-car garage has a 2nd floor that could be a guest suite or a studio, gracefully separated from the main residence by artfully landscaped flower beds. Most systems have been updated. The home is conveyed in AS IS condition due to the stage of renovation.
