Located in the heart of Kessler Park, this extraordinarily rare historic Tudor is an architectural jewel rich in story and soul. Built in 1935, the home was once owned by the legendary Sonny Bryan—his original barbecue pit still resting in the backyard as a nod to the home’s colorful past. Local lore tells that Sonny won the house in a successful gamble, a playful spirit that still lingers throughout. Since 2015, the current stewards have thoughtfully expanded and renovated the home, achieving the rare balance of seamlessly blending old and new while preserving every original architectural detail. Inside, you’re immediately enveloped in warmth and character only a lovingly preserved historic home can offer. Every detail has been carefully considered and honored, including the original mosaic lintel panel, echoed inside as the fireplace hearth and kitchen backsplash. Beautiful formal spaces flow into a generous kitchen with a La Canche range and a dreamy banquette overlooking the gardens. Plaster walls, romantic leaded glass windows, original ironwork, and custom English and Parisian wallpaper and drapery create a layered, soulful environment reminiscent of a French countryside estate. Offering 4,665 square feet across four stories, the home includes five bedrooms and a rarely seen full basement with a kitchen, laundry, bath, flexible living space, and abundant storage. The floor plan is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living—maximizing function without compromising design. Outside, rolling hills, mature trees, and lush gardens create a storybook setting straight out of an English fairytale. A truly special opportunity to own one of the most architecturally significant homes in Kessler Park.
