1970 Balmoral

With sweeping interior vistas, high ceilings, and a large marbled entry hall, this sunny five-bedroom home is very welcoming. Fifty-three leaded glass windows bring a suffusion of light to enhance the warm comfortableness of the interior. A double fireplace connects the living room and solarium.

 

Built in 1925 for real estate developer Joseph Rocho, the 5,500 square-feet home is an interesting variant of the traditional Tudor genre. Among its uncommon features is the painted white brick exterior with black trim—a departure from the prototypical red brick. 

Renovations in the 1960s produced additions and changes, such as a front porch and Romanesque columns to replace a dividing wall. The large gourmet kitchen with 46 cabinets is a dream for many master chefs. Recent upgrades to the home include a master suite that may be equivalent to a five-star hotel! The architectural integrity of the home has been thoughtfully preserved, and the overall effect is an inviting and attractive masterpiece.
