#3 Janssen Place is a magnificent mansion dating back to 1912. It was built in the Italianate Revival style by the architectural firm of Shepard, Farrar, and Wiser. The mansion was originally owned by George W. Ultch, a lumber baron 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, and is nestled in Central Hyde Park, a charming neighborhood with houses listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The house is constructed with three-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 sweeping 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, great appliances, & a beautiful maple floor. It has a spacious breakfast area & a service pantry that add to the space. The second floor has 4 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, & a library with abundant natural light. On the 3rd floor, there are 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, & a ballroom. The 4th level is an attic. The original 3-bay carriage house features a legal apartment on the 2nd level. The full basement provides ample room for storage, a workshop, & a home gym. Another great feature is the built-in vacuum system. The new driveway is readily accessible from 2 locations, and the Italian Ludowici Tile roof is 2 years old.
