The design of the 8,316-square-foot residence draws from Arts and Crafts, Storybook, and Victorian styles. Stained glass clerestory windows above the front door welcome visitors inside.
A large chandelier in the spacious entry hall hints at ornate period details throughout the home.
"With 10-foot ceilings and abundant natural light, the layout is compelling and full of delights such as bay windows and ornamental carved plaster ceilings," says the listing agent.
The open kitchen offers updated appliances, built-in cabinetry, and plenty of counter space for storage and meal preparation.
The residence comes with six fireplaces, including one that anchors the living room between two built-in shelving units.
"The third floor has two apartments, perfect for guests or tenants," says the listing agent. "The garden level contains a gym, a cedar sauna, and steam shower, and yet another apartment."
In total, the Ramsey Hill estate includes seven bedrooms and eight baths.
Colorful wallpaper adorns the walls in one of the bedrooms and en suite baths.
