Dont miss this opportunity to own the historic Topkis home built in 1900 on The Boulevard later renamed Baynard Boulevard in 1925 after its chief developer, Samuel H. Baynard. Many of those grand homes have since been torn down but 1914 Baynard Boulevard, the second home to be built on The Boulevard, endures as a stone and mortar testament to Mr. Baynard's vision for a new, prestigious neighborhood. This magnificent home is easily identified by the massive columns, multiple decks, and a wrap around porch enclosed with a wrought iron gate.

The timeless grandeur and elegance found in such a historic home is apparent from the moment you cross the threshold through the custom front doors and matching transom. Enter into the foyer and appreciate the grand living room with a welcoming fireplace, crown molding, and gracious lighting fixtures. Through the French doors on the opposite side of the foyer is a charming music room with abundant light which could easily be used as a home office or formal sitting room and includes a small deck off the side door.

With a three-window bay, the elegant dining room offers plenty of natural light and leads through French doors into the sunroom with radiant heated tile floors and includes a small sink alongside the powder room. One side of the sunroom opens to a small south-facing deck, ideal for a potted garden area and opposite are the Anderson doors to the covered deck, which is also accessible through the kitchen and leads to the professionally landscaped backyard, complete with a large gazebo, custom hardscaping and stone seating wall and an abundance of yard space.

Between the dining room and the kitchen is a charming butlers pantry with glass front cabinets, a wet bar, and a bonus dishwasher along with a pantry providing plenty of storage. The kitchen boasts commercial grade stainless steel appliances including a six-burner Dacor range with custom hood, and a double door Subzero refrigerator as well as recessed lighting, tray ceiling and circular island.

The elegant main staircase leads upstairs to the master bedroom with a large charming sitting area that includes the conveniently located washer and dryer. Also in the master suite is a full bath with dual sinks and a large shower. On this floor are more three bedrooms including one with a fireplace, currently used as an office, and one with a private deck overlooking the backyard.

Completing the living space, the third floor is comprised of three bedrooms, a full bathroom with a gorgeous clawfoot tub and a family room that could be used as a bedroom as well with access to an elevated deck atop the columns on the front porch overlooking the city skyline.

Architectural plans include a design for an elevator starting from the garage to the sunroom and up to the sitting room off the master bedroom.
