Property Description

3 Janssen Place is a magnificent mansion dating back to 1912. It was designed in the Italianate Revival style by the
architectural firm of Shepard, Farrar, and Wiser. The mansion was originally owned by George W. Ultch, of the Ultch
Lumber Company. The tree filled lot, equipped with inground sprinklers, is located in "Lumberman's Row," a
nickname for the Janssen Place subdivision, once home to many lumber barons. The street was developed in 1897 by
Arthur Stilwell, a railroad magnate, & is nestled in Central Hyde Park, a very special neighborhood with homes listed in
the National Register of Historic Places. The house is constructed with 3-brick-thick exterior walls, decorative stone
trim, & features a fabulous columned side porch. The grand entry hall will captivate you with its splendid woodwork & art
glass, as well as the lovely staircase. The carriage entry hall has an updated powder room. The high ceilings &
gleaming hardwood floors, made up of 10 to 12-foot quarter-sawn oak boards, enhance the overall grandeur of this
mansion from a bygone era. The dining room, accessed through stunning art glass pocket doors, extends into a solarium,
providing abundant space for hosting large gatherings. If that is not enough, there is a 40' X 27' ballroom on the 3rd
floor. The kitchen has been renovated to include a large island, marble counters, stainless steel appliances, & a beautiful maple floor. It has a spacious breakfast area & a service pantry that add to the space. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, & a library, all with large windows & great light. On the 3rd floor, there are 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, & a ballroom. The 4th level is an attic. The full basement provides ample space for storage, a workshop, & a home gym. The original 3-bay carriage house features a legal apartment on the 2nd level. Another feature is the built-in vacuum system. The new driveway is easily accessible from 2 locations, & the Italian Ludowici Tile roof is 2 years old.
