This " Grand Dame" is one of the finest mansions in this Historic district and is a once in a generation opportunity. Sited on a one half acre, naturally cultivated pollinator garden with mostly native plants (no pesticides or chemical fertilizers used), the grounds are pure magic and set the stage for for a truly elegant interior. The "Joske house" had humble beginnings; it started as small single story cut-limestone home in 1881 until circa 1900 when the family designed and built the grand home seen today. The "Joske house" has virtually unparalleled historic features, yet it is intimate and flows beautifully. The approximately 2,200 s/f pink carriage house is a very fine structure in its own right and is believed to have housed one of the first automobiles in the city. The current owners have been tremendous stewards of this magnificent home for the last 39 years.
