Experience a rare piece of architectural history at 47 Moreland Terrace. Built in 1928 for Sylvia K. Knowles, this 4,470 SF Colonial Revival with Georgian & French Country influences is a local anomaly featuring rare brick construction with a German Smear finish, copper downspouts, & wrought iron balconies. The interior blends period sophistication with modern accessibility including an elevator serving all levels. The main floor offers an effortless flow with sun-filled French windows, pocket doors, & a refined den. The gourmet kitchen features a functional pantry with custom built-ins & a secondary sink. This residence offers 5 bedrooms including a primary suite with a private balcony. The third floor reveals a creative sanctuary in the artist studio which retains its original soapstone sink. Modern comfort is ensured with 4-zone cooling. Outside, find a private retreat with a heated gunite pool & an enclosed French chateau patio of exposed brick. A sophisticated historic gem.
